Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2
until the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin
and Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex
Drugs & Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to
Elgin. The only thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

Pinfalls Count Anywhere

Mickie Knuckles vs. Rain

This
will be a return match from the January 23rd show as Mickie Knuckles
knocked out Rain with a kneelift using the leg that has the titanium
rod inserted into it after breaking her leg vs. Sara Del Rey. Rain came
out at the end of the night and attacked Mickie as she tried to save
Ian Rotten from an attack at the hands of The Hooligans. Mickie and
Rain have had a long standing rivalry that included several brutal
matches back in 2005 including a strap match. This promises to go down
in the books as just as hard hitting as those matches were and then
some!

Grudge Tag Team Match

The Bad Breed (Ian & Axl Rotten) vs. The Hooligans (Devin & Mason Cutter)

The
Hooligans have decided that they want to try to run with the big dogs.
They attacked Ian Rotten at the TV Taping demo show and called Ian and
Axl old men. They followed that up by attacking Ian Rotten at the end
of the night a week later in Bellevue. Ian has promised that they will
pay the price and learn why Ian and Axl are called the Bad Breed when
they tangle on the 6th!

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Here are the results from the Jan 23rd show in Bellevue, Illinois:

1.  Trik Davis def. Shane Hollister

This
was a very good opening contest and Hollister was very impressive in
his debut even in a losing effort. Hollister received a please come
back chant from the IWA regulars that made the trek down to Bellevue.

2.  The Hooligans def. Ryan Phoenix & Stephen Saint

3.  Egotistico Fantastico def. Juice Robinson

Juice
continues to be very impressive but Ego got the victory with the
springboard reverse direction moonsault. Ego wrestled with his left
shoulder/chest heavily bandaged due to the fireball he was hit with
last weekend by Trik Davis & Prince Mustafa Ali (Smooth
Operations.) Trik came out after the match and attacked Ego's injured
chest with a chair until being run off by Shane Hollister and Yellow
Dog. Yellow Dog then issued a challenge to Trik Davis for later in the
night since Chuck Taylor was unable to make it to Bellevue due to
having the flu.

4.  Devon Moore def. Tyler Black

Tyler
cut a promo before the match about how he got his start in IWA and gave
his history with IWA...how he lost the loser leaves IWA match at the
2006 TPI and has hardly been used at all in IWA after the 6 months had
expired. He proclaimed his desire to become an IWA regular again and
how after he "beats this punk tonight," he "wants a heavyweight title
shot." Tyler was quite dominant for the majority of the match and
seemed to be on his way to victory until Jimmy Jacobs came out and put
Devon's foot on the rope to break the pinfall. This distracted Tyler
and let to a shouting match between the former Age of the Fall partners
and allowed Devon Moore to recover and nail Tyler with a superkick to
get the victory.

5.  Mickie Knuckles def. Rain

This
match was mostly technical based unlike their previous wars in 2005
that were the hardest hitting women's matches in IWA history. The
technical got thrown out the window though half way through and it
turned into a fight. Mickie gets the victory following a vicious knee
lift with the titanium rod reinforced leg that knocked Rain
unconscious. Rain needed help back to the dressing room and Mickie only
partially looked concerned about knocking out Rain.

6.  Necro Butcher def. Ricochet

This
was an outstanding big man/little man matchup that saw Necro just
totally destroy Ricochet in the early going beating him from one side
of the building to the other. Fans were beginning to worry for
Ricochet's well being and safety. Ricochet was able to control the
action for quite a while after the rocky start by using his quickness
and agility. He gained several near falls on Necro using this gameplan
to where the crowd thought they were going to see the upset. Ricochet
made a costly mistake though as he went high risk and climbed to the
top rope and jumped off towards Necro. Necro drilled Ricochet in the
face with a wicked right cross in mid air and gained the victory by
pinning the stunned Ricochet.

7.  Trik Davis def. Yellow Dog

Trik
didn't quite know how to handle dealing with the unorthodox nature of
the Yellow Dog but he did gain the victory with a rollup and a handful
of the Yellow Dog's tail and trunks for leverage.

8.  Dingo def. Jimmy Jacobs to retain the IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Jim
Fannin was the ring announcer for the match and Dingo pinched his cheek
as he had a very worried look on his face before doing the intros. They
then exchanged thumbs up before the start of the match. The match
started with a very respectful display of catch as catch can style of
wrestling and clean breaks. The mutual respect slowly evaporated
following several shoving matches and heated exchanges. It turned into
a brawl around the building that saw Dingo get busted open. Jimmy had
the upper hand as they returned to the ring until Tyler Black came out
to ringside and starting to try to get into the ring to go after Jimmy
for costing him earlier in the night vs. Devon Moore. As Jimmy argued
with Tyler Black, Jim Fannin started sneaking closer to the ring from
the commentary table and slid into the ring and then delivered a
running double axe handle to the base of the neck. Jacobs forward
momentum pushed him into the ref which caused the ref to tumble to the
floor. The ref got up and tried to run off Tyler Black. Fannin grabbed
the ref and threw him back into the ring as Dingo was hitting a
fisherman's suplex onto Jimmy Jacobs for the pinfall victory.

Ian
Rotten left the commentary table and came to the ringside area and
started yelling at Fannin asking why he interfered. Fannin claimed that
he did nothing and was at the commentary table with Rotten the entire
time. At this point, The Hooligans run out and attack Ian. Mickie comes
to try to save Ian but Rain comes out right behind Mickie and they
continue fighting. Fannin grabs Dingo and says that if Ian wants to be
in love with Jimmy Jacobs that they aren't going to help him fight off
the Hooligans. They leave as Jimmy Jacobs comes to with a chair to
chase off The Hooligans and Rain.

Jimmy Jacobs cuts a promo
saying that Jim Fannin has interfered in his matches for the last time
and that it is going to come to an end. He says that Fannin may have
done a lot for IWA but he doesn't put his body on the line like him and
the other WRESTLERS do. He then says that by the looks of things, he
now has Ian Rotten and Mickie Knuckles on his side in the war.

Ian
Rotten then tells Jimmy that the time has come for Fannin to show
whether he has any balls or not and stop getting other people to fight
his battles for him. It is time for Jim Fannin to fight Jimmy Jacobs
one on one. Jimmy was on his knees begging Ian to make the match. Ian
said that since Fannin wasn't a WRESTLER that he couldn't make him do
the match but that he had faith that enough buttons could eventually be
pushed to where the Fannin would agree to the match.

Ian then
turned his attention to The Hooligans and told them that on Feb 6 in
Bellevue that they were going to pay for calling Ian and Axl old men
last weekend. "This 38 year old fat scarred up old man is going to kick
your asses on the 6th!" and made the match of The Bad Breed vs. The
Hooligans.

The match was then made for Rain vs. Mickie Knuckles in a pinfalls count
anywhere match for February 6th in Bellevue as well.

Stay tuned to the message board for further details about the return to Bellevue
on Friday night February 6th.

Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jimmy Jacobs

This
title shot was going to go to Ian Rotten on the original date of the
show. At the Jan. 3 Joliet show, Ian gave his title shot to Jimmy
Jacobs and said that if it was Jimmy's destiny to regain the title and
rectify the mistakes of the past...then it was time for it happen. Jim
Fannin didn't feel the same way and almost had heart failure on the
stage and swore that he wouldn't let it happen. Will Jimmy fulfill his
destiny or does destiny have other plans for Jimmy Jacobs?

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie
and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series of
great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory
over the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet
is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably only weighs
in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100 pound
weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial ability to
stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents? Will
Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to a
pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Heavyweight Title Contenders Match

"New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. Tyler Black

Sami
Callihan's new year resolution is to prove to everyone by the end of
2009 that HE is the franchise and the future of IWA. He desperately
wants to be thought of as the Chris Hero of 2000 - 2004 in IWA history.
The guy that can do it all and wrestle anyone and not only win but win
over the fans as well. He's been a finalist in TPI, Strong Style and
Candido Cup. He's gotten victories in Double Death and over Mickie
Knuckles and Ian Rotten. The next thing on his checklist is to beat up
a former IWA Mid-South light heavyweight champion with tremendous hype
and fanfare on the internet. Can Sami top the MTV, ROH star or does he
still have more to accomplish before establishing himself as the
franchise?

Light Heavyweight Contenders Positioning Match

Trik Davis vs. Shane Hollister

Shane
Hollister will be making his IWA Mid-South debut and he has drawn a
very tough customer in Trikory Davis. While a victory in his debut
won't guarantee him a title shot, it will go a long way in guaranteeing
that he returns to IWA and that he will be taken seriously. If Trik
wins, whether by hook or by crook, the former IWA heavyweight champion
could see himself in title contention for the light heavyweight title.
Hollister has a lot of good press and hype behind him coming in to IWA.
Will he fold under the pressure or will we have another young rising
star in the IWA ranks in 2009?

Fan Requested Match

Chuck Taylor vs. Yellow Dog w/ Classie Lassie

The
fans were excited when this was announced for the original show
scheduled for Jan 2 and it will go down this Friday night in Bellevue!
Prepare to laugh. Prepare to cry. Prepare to be torn as to whom to
cheer for in this one ladies and gentlemen. If the same amount of kids
show up as the last time in Bellevue, it will definitely be something
to see how many of them Chuck can make cry.

Also appearing on the show:

Egotistico Fantastico

Jason Hades

Much much more.

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other

Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little

**************************Here are the results from the 1/17 TV Taping demo
courtesy of Scar from the IWA board:

Jim Fannin asked me to do the "Official" results in his
absence, admittedly i did not see all the action, so im sorry if there
are mistakes. here goes:

Ian announced that this show would be
broken up into 2 one hour sections (for the T.V. shot) and then there
would be a 6 man match for the #1 contendership to the World Light
Heavyweight title that would only be for the fans in attendance and the
DVD. side note, the ring has new ropes

Match 1

Devon Moore Pinned Prince Mustafa Ali w/ Trik Davis & Chuck E. Smooth

Devon
came out on top of a back and forth pinning exchange for the win. after
the 3 count Trik and Chuck both jump Devon, all three men held Devon
and began to try to put Ego's mask on him (yes, Ali is carrying Ego's
mask as a trophy, wearing it around his neck at times). Jason Hades
came to Devon's aid and got tossed from the ring for his trouble.
Egotistico Fantastico then made his way quickly to the ring, and gets
hit with a fireball from Trik.

Match 2

Ian Rotten & Mickie Knuckles beat Dave Allen and The Masked Masked Wearer Man

This
match was very one sided, so much so that Dave Allen never even got
into the match. MMWM took a lot of punishment from Ian and Mickie. Ian
and Mickie are guilty of gimmick infringement during this match. They
used the Iron Saints Kick (where each member grabs an arm and kicks the
opponent in the chest in turn), as this happened i looked at Sal
Thomaselli (who was on the stage) and he looked sad, maybe thinking of
how he and his brother used to love utilizing that move before Vito
turned his back on him. Ian and Mickie then used a double B Boy
dropkick to set up a Ace Crusher by Mickie and a stiff lariat by Ian.
both covered MMWM for the 3 count. Dave Allen threw his KO'd partner
over his shoulder to carry him to the back, knocking his head into
seemingly everything that he passed by. funny stuff

Match 3

Bill the Butcher w/ Kimberly Ka$h pinned Troy Walters

Ka$h
led Bill the Butcher too the ring by a chain around his neck and a hood
over his head, once the bell rang Ka$h took off the chain and as soon
as the hood was off, Bill charged for Troy. good back and forth
wrestling from these two, but Bill was just to much for Troy, hitting
him with a powerslam from the top for the pinfall. i have to wonder if
Troy was mentally ready for this match, or was his mind still reeling
over the fact that he is Kimberly Ka$h's second choice.

Match 4

The Hooligans defeated Da Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rocket & Trauma) w/ C-Red &
Dymond

C-Red,
escorted to the ring by his wife Dymond, was still showing the effects
of the Soul Shooters attack on him from the last show in Joliet,
wearing a neck brace and carrying his arm in a sling. The Hooligans
were able to isolate Mr. M-80 for most of the match, using every
underhanded, dirty, and, illegal tag team move in the book to keep
Marshe away from The Ghetto Gladiator. Well they couldn't keep him down
forever. Once Trauma got the tag he came like a ball of fire, clearing
house, hitting a spinebuster on Mason Cutter. With that, Marshe seemed
ready to help his partner, Marshe climbed to the top while the ref's
back was turned only to be shoved out to the floor. with that Trauma
was distracted and hit with a moonsault by Devin, and it still took
both Hooligans to keep Trauma down for the 3 count.

Match 5

Michael Elgin beat Jeff "The Hook" Brooks

Just
as he turned around to hang his leather vest on the turnbuckle, Elgin
was attacked from behind, and Brooks took control from there, even
getting Elgin set into position for that pretty shooting star press he
uses. But The Canadian Crazy Horse had it scouted and was able to move
out of the way, immediately putting Brooks into a Canadian Crossface.
Brooks had no options, he had to tap out. im sure that wont make
Christian Able and the other members of the Michigan Militia too happy.

Match 6

"Quick" Carter Grey w/ Kimberly Ka$h pinned Ricochet

Ricochet
dazzled the crowd with the running backflip up the wall entrance that
we enjoy. I didnt get to see all of this match because i was having
problems with the company credit card machine (Sox, couldnt you wait
till int. to get your KOTDM tix? ),
but what i did see was a lot of interference by Ka$h, for which she was
met with chants of "Booze Hag". Quick was able to hit Ricochet with the
box cutter for the pinfall victory.

end hour 1

Ian had a
few announcements: the 11th entrant into KOTDM is BJW star Masada! the
KOTDM finals this year will be a 4 man final, in other words only 3
rounds.

Match 7

Juice Robinson beat Jason Dukes

Dukes
hit Juice with a flip through the top and second rope from the ring to
the floor to which i saw Dukes look a fan directly in the face and say
"pretty good shit huh?". Dukes went for a high cross body off the top
that Juice rolled over for the pin. Dukes was not happy about this, he
got a chair and after a shot to Juice's ribs Dukes hits a reverse
Kennedy roll on the chair. Dukes is boo'd all the way to the back.

Match 8

Michael Elgin pinned Jason Hades

Hades
went for a Killswitch early, Elgin reversed it into a Alabama slam.
Hades fought back and positioned Elgin for, and hit him with, a top
rope frog splash for a near fall. Hades then again tried to get the
burly Canadian in position for the Killswitch, Elgin reversed it right
into a Canadian Crossface that Hades was able to get out of but right
into a Davy Boy power slam for the 3 count. This match was followed by
a thunderous IWA chant, followed by a "Hades" chant. While he was on
his way to the back Elgin was attacked by Kris Chambers, Hades helped
to run him off.

Match 9

Zach Gowen pinned Kris Chambers

Good
back and forth action until Chambers thought he was going to use Zach's
prosthetic leg against him as a weapon, that prompted Elgin to make a
ring side appearance in the match. While Chambers was distracted with
Elgin, Gowen hit Chambers with a low blow, that allowed him to use the
leg against Chambers, and sets up the one legged moonsault for the
pinfall victory.

Match 10

Ricochet pinned Devon Moore

Before
the bell Ricochet slingshot himself over the top rope as Devon was
still making his entrance. The match continued outside, there was a
spot off the stage but i was unable to see it. Devonm hit Ricochet with
the SSP off the apron to the floor, but Devon would fall to a double
and a half senton by Ricochet. Both men shook hands after the match.
There was a "thank you Devon " chant after the match

Match 11

Trik Davis w/ Ali and Chuck E. Smooth beat Egotistico Fantastico

Ego
came out with his shoulder wrapped. Trik tried to steal Ego's "sit a
guy in a chair and hit him with a flying clothesline" spot(while
wearing Ego's cape) but, while Ego was sat in the chair, he saw Trik
coming, and was able to trip him up with a drop toe hold, face first
into the chair Ego was sitting in. Trik was able to gather himself up
to sit in the chair and while Chuck and Ali were tending to him Ego was
able to regain his cape and dive over Ali and Chuck and hit Trik with a
flying clothesline, smashing a chair in the process. Chuck and Ali,
still sporting Ego's mask, interfered in this match as much as they
could. Ego hit Trik with the Taco Pizza into the turnbuckle, as he set
him up on his shoulders to finish him of, Chuck grabbed Tricks hands,
Ego was able to pull Chuck into the ring, as the ref turns to get Chuck
out of the ring, Ali low blows Ego and that allows Trick to get the
pinfall.

Match 12

Quick Carter Grey w/ Kimberly Ka$h beat Dingo to become the new IWA-MS World
Light Heavyweight Champion

The
ring could not contain this match, these wrestlers brawled all over the
arena. Dingo was able to irish whip Quick into the chairs, followed by
an irish whip into the brick wall. The next significant action was when
Quick colided with the ref, knocking him down and out, Dingo used the
opportunity to hit Quick with a fishermans buster. Dingo went for the
cover but there was no ref to make the count, the crowd counted
loudly...1....2....3. That is when Ka$h saw her chance to help, she
jumped on the apron and distracted Dingo. Quick was able to regain his
senses and dug into his apparel and pulled a bag of powder and hit
Dingo in the face not only once, but twice, with the powder. At that
moment Jason Hades appeared to attempt to nullify Ka$h who was still on
the apron and trying to hand Quick some kind of foreign object. He was
unable to stop her and Quick hit Dingo with the silver piece of metal,
and then shoved in Hades' trunks while his back was turned. The ref
comes too and Dingo is pinned. Quick is the new IWA-MS World Light
Heavyweight Champion. Hades tends to Dingo who has been busted open,
Dingo finds the object in Hades trunks and was not happy with this
finding at all. Dingo screamed "why did you do it Hades" to which Hades
could only reply "i didnt do it". Hades exits the ring only to have
Dingo follow him, accusing him all the way. Hades had had enough and
the two former LTHW Champions shove each other to the locker room area.


end hour 2

Match 13

Ricochet won a 6 way match for the #1 Contendership to the World Light
Heavyweight  Title

Too
much action in this one, im not even gonna try to put it into words.
Here are the facts, this match was tag style, 4 men on each corner, 2
in the ring. This match had Ricochet, Prince Mustafa Ali, T.D., Sal
Thomaselli, Devon Moore, and Troy Walters. Ricochet pinned Sal for the
victory. After the match Quick and Ka$h appeared on the sound stage
Quick grabbed a mic and stated that none of these guys would ever get a
shot at "his" title, and that he has another booking next month, so
there will be no title defense. Ian gets a mic and informs Quick that
if he is not in Joliet on Feb. 7th, he will be stripped of the title
and he and Ka$h will both be fired. Ian also says Quick will defend
against Dingo AND Hades on the 7th. Quick is then chased from the ring
area by all the participants of the match.
side note: Ali took a
nasty fall from the top to the floor. the extent of his injury is not
known at this time. i didnt see exactly what happened but it appeared
to be his knee that was injured.

We hope that everyone that is in the Joliet area comes out to support our TV
taping this weekend especially after the severity of the weather with the snow
and the -30 wind chills in the area have kept us from being able to successfully
flyer for the event.  This television taping is a huge opportunity for us and
the bigger and the louder the crowd the better our chances of getting picked up
by the television station.  We hope to see everyone there on Saturday night for
a great night of wrestling action.

Saturday night, January 17, 2009

possible. A packed house of rowdy and wild wrestling fans with good
wrestling will only help our chances.

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. Quick Carter Gray

Dingo
will be making a Light Heavyweight Title defense against one of the
most prolific high flyers in IWA today in Quick Carter Gray. Quick was
unable to wrest the title away from former champion Jason Hades but he
was quick to issue a challenge to the new champion. Dingo welcomes all
challengers and would be more than happy to test his skills against the
up and coming sensation. Will Dingo be able to keep up his winning ways
with twice the people gunning for him or will Dingo rise to the
challenge and continue his domination of the heavyweight division and
add the light heavyweight division to it as well?

Strong Style Showdown

"New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. B Boy

There
isn't much that needs to be said about this match. This is a dream
fight for long time IWA fans. Sami Callihan wants to prove that he is
much more than the new flavor of the month and that he is the future
franchise of the IWA. What better way to prove that potential than to
go toe to toe with the returning B Boy? B Boy has proven his dominance
all over the United States: west coast (PWG); east coast (CZW) &
everywhere in between (IWA). B Boy retired for a spell to recover from
the abuse his body had been through and is back and as hungry as ever
to see who the pretenders are and who the real motherf*ckin G's are!

Light Heavyweight Contenders Match

Prince Mustafa Ali vs. "Notorious" Devon Moore

Prince
Mustafa Ali came up just short in several attempts to win the light
heavyweight title from Jason Hades. With a new champion, all the old
contenders have to reprove themselves as worthy contenders. Ali will
have his hands full as he battles the reigning KOTDM in Devon Moore.
Devon wants to prove that he may be "Notorious" due to his KOTDM
victory but that he is just as notorious for being able to go in
regular matches as well. Which may will climb higher up the ladder to
earning a light heavyweight title shot down the road?

Grudge Match

Egotistico Fantastico vs. Trik Davis

Ego
has had nothing but problems with Smooth Operations since they teamed
together. The majority of his beef is with Ali but Ego has a score or
two to settle with one Trikory Davis as well. What better way to settle
those scores than to get a victory on a tv taping that might
potentially be seen by thousands of people?

Heavyweight Title Contenders Match

"Canadian Crazy Horse" Michael Elgin vs. Jason Hades

Jason
Hades has been granted a rematch vs. Dingo but only for the light
heavyweight title. Dingo refuses to give him a chance at the
heavyweight title unless Hades proves worthy by beating some
heavyweight contenders. The first one up for Hades...the "Canadian
Crazy Horse" Michael Elgin. Can Hades earn the victory and inch closer
to getting another shot at the HEAVYWEIGHT title or will he be forced
to make the best of his rematch for the LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT title on
February 7th and go from there?


Also Signed to appear at this event:

Bad Breed - Ian & Axl Rotten teaming for first time since Feb 2006

Former WWE Superstar - The One Legged Wonder Zach Gowen

We are also awaiting word from a few more people on their availability for this

this very important card in IWA history.

Friday night, January 23, 2009
The Bellevue Plaza
325 Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue, IL
8 pm belltime
Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs.
  Jimmy Jacobs

This
title shot was going to go to Ian Rotten on the original date of the
show. At the Jan. 3 Joliet show, Ian gave his title shot to Jimmy
Jacobs and said that if it was Jimmy's destiny to regain the title and
rectify the mistakes of the past...then it was time for it happen. Jim
Fannin didn't feel the same way and almost had heart failure on the
stage and swore that he wouldn't let it happen. Will Jimmy fulfill his
destiny or does destiny have other plans for Jimmy Jacobs?

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie
and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series of
great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory
over the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet
is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably only weighs
in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100 pound
weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial ability to
stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents? Will
Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to a
pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Heavyweight Title Contenders Match

"New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. Tyler Black

Sami
Callihan's new year resolution is to prove to everyone by the end of
2009 that HE is the franchise and the future of IWA. He desperately
wants to be thought of as the Chris Hero of 2000 - 2004 in IWA history.
The guy that can do it all and wrestle anyone and not only win but win
over the fans as well. He's been a finalist in TPI, Strong Style and
Candido Cup. He's gotten victories in Double Death and over Mickie
Knuckles and Ian Rotten. The next thing on his checklist is to beat up
a former IWA Mid-South light heavyweight champion with tremendous hype
and fanfare on the internet. Can Sami top the MTV, ROH star or does he
still have more to accomplish before establishing himself as the
franchise?

Light Heavyweight Contenders Positioning Match

Trik Davis vs. Shane Hollister

Shane
Hollister will be making his IWA Mid-South debut and he has drawn a
very tough customer in Trikory Davis. While a victory in his debut
won't guarantee him a title shot, it will go a long way in guaranteeing
that he returns to IWA and that he will be taken seriously. If Trik
wins, whether by hook or by crook, the former IWA heavyweight champion
could see himself in title contention for the light heavyweight title.
Hollister has a lot of good press and hype behind him coming in to IWA.
Will he fold under the pressure or will we have another young rising
star in the IWA ranks in 2009?

Also appearing on the show:

Egotistico Fantastico

Ian & Axl Rotten - The Bad Breed

Jason Hades

Much much more.

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2
until the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin
and Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex
Drugs & Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to
Elgin. The only thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

Much more to be announced for this event.  Stay tuned to the message board for

Tickets: $20 & $15

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

Jason
Hades has used his mandatory rematch clause in his contract as the
former champion to get another shot at Dingo. Dingo is only allowing
him to go after the Light Heavyweight title since that is what Hades
contract gives him the power to get a rematch for. These two had a
tremendous matchup on January 3rd and Hades came up just short in his
attempt to become the unified champion. He was in the hospital with a
flu bug the day before the event and says that is why he was unable to
go to 2 - 0 against Dingo. Dingo doesn't want to hear excuses and says
that he beat Hades clean in the middle of the ring. These two will go
at it one more time...this time it won't be for all the marbles
though...just the World Light Heavyweight Title.

Much more to be announced for this event.  Stay tuned to the message board for

Ian and Patti received an email from a local Chicago
television station that asked if we would be interested in putting
together a demo of an one hour TV show in an attempt to get put onto

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

Jason
Hades has used his mandatory rematch clause in his contract as the
former champion to get another shot at Dingo. Dingo is only allowing
him to go after the Light Heavyweight title since that is what Hades
contract gives him the power to get a rematch for. These two had a
tremendous matchup on January 3rd and Hades came up just short in his
attempt to become the unified champion. He was in the hospital with a
flu bug the day before the event and says that is why he was unable to
go to 2 - 0 against Dingo. Dingo doesn't want to hear excuses and says
that he beat Hades clean in the middle of the ring. These two will go
at it one more time...this time it won't be for all the marbles
though...just the World Light Heavyweight Title.

Much more to be announced for this event.  Stay tuned to the message board for
further updates.

Ian and Patti received an email from a local Chicago
television station that asked if we would be interested in putting
together a demo of an one hour TV show in an attempt to get put onto
their station. The only catch was that we would have to have our demo
in to them by February 1st if we wanted to be considered. With that
time limitation, and the availability of the Hartman Rec Center, this
is what we have come up with:

Saturday night, January 17, 2009
Hartman Rec Center
511 N. Collins Street
Joliet, IL
8 pm belltime; Doors open 7:15 pm

Tickets: $15 & $10
If
you bring your ticket stub from this event to either the February 6th
or the February 7th shows, you will receive $5 off your ticket for that
event.

We will be announcing the lineup very soon.
Ian is going to try to put together the top card that he can for this
taping so it will take a day or two to get ahold of everyone and check
their availability.

We hope our fans turn out for this taping
with great enthusiasm to make this as great of a demo for TV as
possible. A packed house of rowdy and wild wrestling fans with good
wrestling will only help our chances.

We'll see everyone in Joliet on the 17th!

Stay tuned to the board for more information on this event.

In an effort to try and space out our larger events, we
will be switching around the dates for our bigger shows in cutting back
on some events. So the schedule will be as follows:

2009 King Of
The Death Matches will take place in Joliet, IL at the Hartman Rec
Center on Friday and Saturday night, March 6 & 7, 2009. Tickets
will go on sale for this event New Years Day at noon. 2 day passes for
this event for front row will be $65, all other tickets will be general
admission and will be $50 for a 2 day pass.

2009 Ted Petty
Invitational will be held June 5th and 6th, 2009 and tickets will go on
sale for that event the 1st weekend in March.

Then come October, we hope to have a hug 13 year Anniversary Show.

Before people start asking, there will be no Queen of the Death Matches, Double
Death, Strong Style, or Candido Cup in 2009.

Hopefully
this will give everyone the heads up and that this new format works out
well for everyone. Take care, have a safe and Merry Christmas.

board and discussing IWA with all our fans.

http://iwamidsouth.proboards19.com/index.cgi?






[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ghetto Superstar was played and all the wrestlers came to the ring to give
Rollin Hard a 10 Bell Salute.

1.  Jason Dukes w/ Chrissy Rivera def. Juice Robinson

This
was Juice's IWA debut and he has only been wrestling for about a month.
He is a student of Truth Martini's that has a very bushy blonde afro.
He put in a really good showing for himself in this match but the
veteran trickster with help from Chrissy was able to gain the victory
following an inverted Finlay Roll (he had Juice in a torture rack
before going into the flip/roll) and then hit a top rope legdrop onto
the back of Juice's head.

2.  Ricochet def. Johnathon Davis & T.D in a 3 way dance

TD
was making his return to IWA after a few impressive showings back in
the summer of 2008. Davis was the man that wrestled Bill the Butcher on
the first tryout show. There was a lot of good high flying action in
this one and Ricochet got the pinfall victory following a Shooting Star
Press.

3. Grits N Gravy def. Hooligans, Ian
Rotten/Mickie Knuckles, Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline),
Christian Able/Josh Raymond, Greg Excellent/Old Timer Jeff King,
Popular Electronics (Gameboy & Hype Shalwin) and Kris
Chambers/Corey Mason in a tag team rumble

This was an
over the top rope battle royal where both members of the team had to be
eliminated. The match started with Able/Raymond vs. Chambers/Mason for
three minutes. Then the Michigan Militia entered. After that, every
minute another team entered. The results are listed in the reverse
order of elimination so Elgin & Sami last eliminated the Hooligans
for the victory by taking the last Hooligan and throwing him over the
top onto his partner with a Double Splash Mountain Bomb.

4.  Necro Butcher def. Bill the Butcher via TKO


All
I can say is WOW. They beat the hell out of each other. This was just a
pure slugfest. Bill had a black swollen eye at the end of the night and
Necro was a little punchdrunk as well. Necro gets the victory after
flooring Bill with a right cross to the jaw and then sitting on top of
him and slugging away to his face until the ref stopped it.

5.  The Soul Touchaz def. The Soul Shooters

C
Red came out dressed like Acid Jazz after the Shooters had entered the
ring. They were yelling at Red as Marshe & Trauma came through the
front door and jumped them from behind. This was a fight from the
beginning to the end. Trauma pushed Marshe over while he was on top of
one of the Shooters shoulders and he rolled him up into a sunset flip
for the win. The Shooters attacked after the match however and duct
taped Marshe & Trauma to the ropes and then they destroyed C Red
with a Soul Bomb (Q off the top rope for added momentum on the
powerbomb). C Red was carried back to the dressing room.

6.  Roderick Strong def. Michael Elgin

This
was as hard hitting as one would expect. Chops, forearms and kicks that
were brutal. Elgin hit the Canadian Stampede but Roddy kicked out.
Elgin missed a top rope splash and Roddy hit him with a shining wizard
for the victory.

7.  Trik Davis/Prince Mustafa Ali def. Egotistico Fantastico/Chuck Taylor

Trik
& Ali come out by themselves and announce that they have fired Joey
Eastman. They then introduced their new manager...Britney Spears
Boyfriend...Chuckie Smooth. Smooth then rips apart every member of the
crowd on one of the sides of the ring and announces that he got them a
match against Ego but that Ego would have no partner. Ego came out and
went to the DJ table and whispered to John Calvin and the music played
and Chuck Taylor came out to be Ego's partner. The highlight for me was
when Ali went for the Shoe Bomb but Chuck outsmarted him and used the
invisible grenade to top the shoe bomb. He tossed the grenade into the
air and when Ali went to catch it, Chuck grabbed the shoe and slapped
Ali in the face with it. He then shoved the grenade and the shoe bomb
into Ali's tights and then gave him an atomic drop. However the 3 on 2
advantage was too much and they ended up ripping off the mask of Ego
and when Ego dropped to the canvas to cover and hide his identity, he
got rolled up for the pin. Ali and Trik left with the mask.

8.  Jimmy Jacobs def. Sami Callihan

This
was just a back and forth battle that saw both men come close to
winning on several occassions. Sami with his lariats and clutch
submissions. Jimmy with his back centons and front facelock chokes.
They brawled to the floor and Jimmy ran up the ringpost and hit contra
code onto an open green chair on the floor. He rolled Sami back into
the ring but Sami was able to kick out. You could tell that both men
had studied film on each other and had moves well scouted as Sami was
able to counter spears and Jimmy was able to avoid the sit down lariat.
With 2 minutes left in the time limit, Jimmy slapped on the choke again
and got Sami to tap out.

Ian then came to the ring and said that
he had a match lined up for whoever won the Hades/Dingo match for the
Bellevue show on the 23rd. He then talked about all the great things
that Jimmy has done in the past. He then asked Jimmy if he thought it
was his destiny to once again become IWA champion and if he would
promise to treat the title with respect if he won it again. Jimmy
promised that he would so Ian gave him the title shot at the Bellevue
show. This caused Jim Fannin to damn near have a heart attack on the
stage and promise that he would do whatever it takes to make sure that
Jimmy doesn't win the belt.

9.  Dingo def. Jason Hades to unify the Heavyweight & Lt. Hvy Titles

This
matchup had the crowd on the edge of their seats until it went to the
floor and everyone had to scatter. Way too many near falls to remember
them all. Hades laid Dingo across a chair on the floor and did a double
foot stomp off the stage onto Dingo but only got two. Hades even hit a
Killswitch but Dingo kicked out. Dingo hit a couple of piledrivers but
Hades kicked out. Hades went for a triangle choke but Dingo picked him
up with brute strength and did a few powerbombs to break the hold and
got a 2 99/100 count. He then fought off a last ditch attempt for
another Killswitch by Hades and delivered a Fireman Carry Slam and got
the pin to unify the titles.

Hades gives him kudos but says that
he was in the hospital all day yesterday with a flu bug and getting
IVs. He then asks for a rematch since this makes them 1 - 1 in head to
head matches. At this point, Keith Walker comes running in from nowhere
and beheads Dingo with a clothesline. Hades tries to check on Dingo but
Walker destroys Hades. Gameboy gets abused. The Soul Touchaz are no
match. Mickie Knuckles comes out and Walker scoffs at her forearm
shivers and chokeslams her. Ian comes out and ball tags Walker from
behind and goes to check on Mickie but Walker picks him up and delivers
a massive chokebomb. Roderick comes to the ring and finally Keith
Walker leaves the ring and yells at Roderick that they will do battle
another day when he hasn't already destroyed about 10 people.

Trik Davis and Prince Mustafa Ali then come out and shake Walker's hand and they
leave the building.

Out With The Old, In With The New
Saturday night, January 3, 2009
Hartman Rec Center
511 N. Collins Street

7:30 pm belltime
Tickets in advance:  $20, $15, $10 (paypal to rottenwife@...)
Tickets at door:  $25, $20, $15

IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title vs. Light Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

These
two men have dominated IWA Mid-South in 2008. Dingo has taken on all
challengers for his heavyweight title and defeated them all. He has
finally squashed the dreams of Drake Younger and beaten his biggest foe
for the final time. Drake can't challenge for the title again as long
as Dingo remains champion. Who is next in line to challenge Dingo? How
about the last man to defeat him in IWA? Jason Hades has been on an
equally impressive roll in IWA and even has a victory over Dingo before
Dingo won the title. Hades issued the challenge at the end of the
Candido Cup and Dingo promised to walk out with both titles in a
"cakewalk." Who will be the last man standing with all the IWA titles
when this one ends?

Grudge Match

Da Soul Touchaz (Trauma & Marshe) vs. The Soul Shooters

Da
Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rockett & Acid Jazz) won the 2008 Candido Cup
but in the process, Jazz broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. If
that wasn't bad enough, then the Soul Shooters (Dru & Q Skillz) ran
in and attacked the injured Jazz and Marshe before Trauma could run
them off. This time the Soul Touchaz know that the Soul Shooters are
coming. Which team will prove to have all the Soul in the IWA?

Battle of the Butchers

Necro Butcher vs. Bill the Butcher

Bill
the Butcher made quite the impression on IWA fans at the tryout show
and they immediately started thinking about how great a match vs. Necro
would be. Necro is always looking for a fight and is more than ready to
test the new kid on the block to see if he is all hype or the real
deal. Join us in Joliet to find out if Bill is ready to make the giant
leap and can stand toe to toe with the Necro Butcher!

Also on the card:

Strong Style Showdown

Roderick Strong vs.  Michael Elgin

Roderick
won the Revolution Strong Style Tournament. Michael Elgin is a former
IWA Strong Style Champion. These two are probably hands down the
hardest choppers in IWA right now. Who will be able to come out on top
in this showdown between two of the toughest in the independents? Can
the Messiah of the Backbreaker get the bigger Elgin up for one of his
backbreakers? Can Elgin ground and pound the RSST champion? One thing
is definite...they are going to hit each other so hard that even the
fans in attendance will be able to feel it!

Battle For Positioning as Contender for IWA Title

Jimmy Jacobs vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami
has been on an undeniable roll in IWA. He made it to the finals of TPI,
RSST and Double Death. While making it to the finals was quite an
accomplishment for Sami, he is pissed that he failed to win all three
times. He has made Ian Rotten submit and beat Mickie Knuckles in her
return from a broken leg. Now he has his sights set on Jimmy Jacobs.
Jimmy is the 2nd longest reigning IWA heavyweight champion in history.
He has come up short in his quest to get that title back against Chuck
Taylor and Dingo. The quickest way to get another shot is to beat the
man who made it to 3 tournament finals in IWA in a calendar year. Can
Sami continue on his roll and perhaps become a number one contender to
the heavyweight title or will Jimmy Jacobs use him as a stepping stone
to get back to where he wants to be?

This show (originally scheduled for Jan 2) has been postponed for a few weeks

that the show would suffer if it were still done on Friday.

There is no amount of
time that allows you to prepare yourself for the inevitable when you
want to hope against hope for a different outcome.

I can't even
begin to put into words the heartbreak that I am feeling right now over
losing a friend and yet another former member of the Fannin Family over
the years. I could take a little solace in knowing that in a matter of
moments, Chris Candido/JProdigy/Rollin will be winning the 6 Man Tag
Championship in Heaven. However, the true solace comes from knowing
that my friend got exactly what he wanted: Christmas at home with his
family and then an end to all the pain and agony that had filled his
life.

Rollin Hard was a fighter right until the end and that is
why he will always be a champion and role model in my eyes. He fought
this thing for so long and so hard that he became an inspiration to
many. Hopefully everyone on this board and other wrestling boards is a
little more aware of colon cancer and will be getting checkups to make
sure that they don't have to endure what my friend has. Early detection
can be a life saver and that would then make Rollin a life saver.

Rollin
will always have a special place in my heart. When I started in
wrestling, Mitch Page and myself always talked about how I would manage
him while we were doing security and setting up the ring. I started
managing Ian at first to break in so he could give me on the job
training and help me from anear. Since I was good friends with Ian, it
almost felt like I hadn't "earned" it just yet since he was leading me
and showing me the way.

It was when I made my break away from
Ian and got to manage on my own that I felt like I had begun to "earn"
my spot. The first two people that I managed were Mitch and Rollin.
Rollin was my first heavyweight champion after the two Ian won with me
as a manager. I will always remember how excited and thrilled Rollin
was when he won the IWA title. He took all kinds of pictures at home
with the belt and I hope Angie and the kids still have those pictures
to remember that great time in Rollin's life.

I'll always
remember the IWA softball team and how Rollin along with Corporal and
Cash were like the only good players and Rollin was the only one to hit
a home run over the fence on the team. The games were on Monday nights
so the guys would still be sore as hell and beat up from Saturday night
but it was such a fun time for all of us even though we lost every time
we didn't play the Dixie Highway Fire Department.

I'll also
always remember the last time I saw Rollin. Mitch and I went to visit
him and watch the UK/Florida football game a couple of months ago. It
was a perfect visit where we could talk Cubs, Bears, UK sports and just
have a normal day.

Rollin was an inspiration and a hero and one of the toughest men that I ever got
the honor to meet.  He will be sorely missed.

I
love you Rollin and I'm so thankful that I got to meet you and to know
that you are in a much better place and finally feeling no pain.

RIP and say hi to JProdigy and Candido for me behind the pearly gates.

IWA Mid-South Upcoming Schedule of Events

Friday night, January 2, 2009
The Bellevue Plaza
325 Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue, IL
8 pm belltime
Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Ian Rotten

Dingo
has been on an impressive roll since winning the IWA Mid-South title in
the beginning of the summer. Roderick has travel issues that will keep
him off of this show but he will be in Joliet the next night. Trevor
Murdock is going to be in Japan and unable to attend. Therefore, the
title match has been changed to Dingo defending against Ian Rotten.
Even if Dingo survives, will he be in any condition to fend off the
challenge of Jason Hades the next night?


IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Jason Hades vs. Ryan Phoenix

Ryan
Phoenix issued this challenge at the first show in Bellevue a couple of
weeks ago. He knows that he has never won a match in IWA but he is the
hometown boy trying to live out a dream. Will the hometown fans be able
to cheer on Phoenix to a stunning upset? Will Hades be focused enough
on the challenge of a huge underdog with the career defining title vs.
title match looming the next night?

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2
until the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin
and Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex
Drugs & Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to
Elgin. The only thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet
is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably one weighs
in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100 pound
weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial ability to
stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents? Will
Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to a
pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Light Heavyweight Contender's Match
Chuck Taylor vs. The Yellow Dog w/ Classie Lassie

While
the winner of this match won't be guaranteed a light heavyweight title
shot, it would definitely go a long way in moving up the ladder and
getting closer to a title shot. Chuck Taylor is a former IWA Mid-South
World Heavyweight Champion (the longest reigning one in IWA history),
IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Champion and IWA Mid-South
Women's Champion. He's been out with an injury since taking a nasty
spill at the 2008 TPI vs. Cassandro and is ready to once again stake
his claim to be one of the top performers in IWA. The Yellow Dog has
become an instant fan favorite with his zany performances. If the fans
don't like the zaniness, the men definitely like the beauty of Classie
Lassie being ringside with him. This match is sure to entertain, if not
athletically then definitely comically.

New Matches

2 Out of 3 Falls
Egotistico Fantastico vs. Prince Mustafa Ali

Prince
Mustafa Ali demanded to be in the TPI after losing a match against
Egotistico Fantastico. Ali claimed it was only racism that kept him out
of the prestigious tournament. Ian agreed to let him into the TPI but
made his first round matchup a rematch against Ego. Ego won that match
too and went one to be one of the MVPs of the tournament. Ali has
failed a couple of times at wresting the light heavyweight title from
Hades and in order to get another crack at the title he needs to prove
himself by taking out his old nemesis Ego. Can Ali defeat Ego not only
once but do it twice in the same night to get the victory? Will Ali use
the shoe bomb and the weapons of mass destruction or will Ego keep him
at bay with Taco Pizza? Either way, the crowd is sure to be the winner
in this one as two of the top young guys in IWA tear into each other to
start the new year on a roll!

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie
and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series of
great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory
over the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

Out With The Old, In With The New
Saturday night, January 3, 2009
Hartman Rec Center

Tickets at door:  $25, $20, $15

IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title vs. Light Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

These
two men have dominated IWA Mid-South in 2008. Dingo has taken on all
challengers for his heavyweight title and defeated them all. He has
finally squashed the dreams of Drake Younger and beaten his biggest foe
for the final time. Drake can't challenge for the title again as long
as Dingo remains champion. Who is next in line to challenge Dingo? How
about the last man to defeat him in IWA? Jason Hades has been on an
equally impressive roll in IWA and even has a victory over Dingo before
Dingo won the title. Hades issued the challenge at the end of the
Candido Cup and Dingo promised to walk out with both titles in a
"cakewalk." Who will be the last man standing with all the IWA titles
when this one ends?

Grudge Match

Da Soul Touchaz (Trauma & Marshe) vs. The Soul Shooters

Da
Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rockett & Acid Jazz) won the 2008 Candido Cup
but in the process, Jazz broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. If
that wasn't bad enough, then the Soul Shooters (Dru & Q Skillz) ran
in and attacked the injured Jazz and Marshe before Trauma could run
them off. This time the Soul Touchaz know that the Soul Shooters are
coming. Which team will prove to have all the Soul in the IWA?

Battle of the Butchers

Necro Butcher vs. Bill the Butcher

Bill
the Butcher made quite the impression on IWA fans at the tryout show
and they immediately started thinking about how great a match vs. Necro
would be. Necro is always looking for a fight and is more than ready to
test the new kid on the block to see if he is all hype or the real
deal. Join us in Joliet to find out if Bill is ready to make the giant
leap and can stand toe to toe with the Necro Butcher!

Also on the card:

Strong Style Showdown

Roderick Strong vs.  Michael Elgin

Roderick
won the Revolution Strong Style Tournament. Michael Elgin is a former
IWA Strong Style Champion. These two are probably hands down the
hardest choppers in IWA right now. Who will be able to come out on top
in this showdown between two of the toughest in the independents? Can
the Messiah of the Backbreaker get the bigger Elgin up for one of his
backbreakers? Can Elgin ground and pound the RSST champion? One thing
is definite...they are going to hit each other so hard that even the
fans in attendance will be able to feel it!

Battle For Positioning as Contender for IWA Title

Jimmy Jacobs vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami
has been on an undeniable roll in IWA. He made it to the finals of TPI,
RSST and Double Death. While making it to the finals was quite an
accomplishment for Sami, he is pissed that he failed to win all three
times. He has made Ian Rotten submit and beat Mickie Knuckles in her
return from a broken leg. Now he has his sights set on Jimmy Jacobs.
Jimmy is the 2nd longest reigning IWA heavyweight champion in history.
He has come up short in his quest to get that title back against Chuck
Taylor and Dingo. The quickest way to get another shot is to beat the
man who made it to 3 tournament finals in IWA in a calendar year. Can
Sami continue on his roll and perhaps become a number one contender to
the heavyweight title or will Jimmy Jacobs use him as a stepping stone
to get back to where he wants to be?

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

1. Trik Davis w/ Prince Mustafa Ali def. Egotistico Fantastico

Ali and Ego have the 2 out of 3 falls match in Bellevue on January
2nd so Ali came to the ring with his tag partner Trik to run
interference. Ego had momentum after a multi revolution airplane spin
and then went for Taco Pizza. Ali grabbed a chair and tossed it into
the ring. Coyne Jones went to retrieve the chair and remove it from
the ring and Ali used the distraction to grab Ego around the neck and
cause him to let go before fully executing the Taco Pizza. Trik then
used the opportunity to rollup Ego and drape both feet across the
ropes to gain the pin.

2. Ian Rotten def. Old Timer Jeff King

Old Timer wrestled wearing his fanny pack. Ian kept unzipping the
fanny pack at every opportunity which kept pissing off King. Ian then
started taking the money out of Old Timer's fanny pack (mostly
change) making King even madder. Jeff King did pull a couple of
foreign objects out of the pack and used them including a bag of baby
powder. Ian kicked King's hand however and Coyne Jones took the brunt
of it but King also got the powder in his eyes. King stumbled into
Jones whom was on all fours. Jones ended up having King hooked and
Ian counted to three and awarded Coyne Jones his first victory in IWA.

2b. Coyne Jones def. Old Timer Jeff King

But back to Ian vs. King...Ian was then able to gain the pin on the
Old Timer in the confusion following getting pinned by the ref.

Old Timer did do a fine job of working over the shoulder of Ian with
several old fashioned knife edge tomahawk chops to the trapezious
area.

3. Gameboy w/ Hype Shalwin def. Corey Mason w/ Kris Chambers

Kris Chambers let everyone know how cool it was especially in Canada
to be a member of Sex Drugs and Wrestling or at least getting to hang
out with them...I think that is what he was saying more or less. I'm
not fluent in Canadian. He then told Mason that if he was impressive,
he'd be invited to join the group. Here's what I remember of the
match other than Gameboy using the Power Glove and powering up for
test of strength and claw holds: We've seen Deranged puke a few
times. We've seen Insane Lane puke. Tonight was the first time though
that we have seen projectile vomit. Towards the end of the match,
Corey Mason was in the ring by the ropes and projectile vomitted onto
the floor that reached the seats. Gameboy pinned him following that.
Not sure how as I was looking away from the ring. Chambers yelled at
Mason afterwards and Michael Elgin's music hits which led directly to:

4. Michael Elgin def. Kris Chambers

In the most hardcore move ever done in IWA...Michael Elgin caught a
diving Kris Chambers while on the floor and gave him a Death Valley
Driver into the puke. After returning to the ring, Elgin went for a
Super Splash Mountain Bomb off the ropes but Chambers turned it into
a rana and followed it with a top rope elbow but only got a two
count. Elgin eventually regained control with a running powerbomb
into the turnbuckle followed by a brainbuster but Chambers kicked
out. Elgin did get the pin though following a Splash Mountain Bomb.
Corey Mason then taunted Elgin and distracted him long enough to
allow Chambers to recover enough for the two of them to beat down
Elgin after the match.

5. Jason Hades def. Prince Mustafa Ali w/ Trik Davis to retain IWA
Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title

Ali came really close to ruining the January 3rd Title vs. Title
match. Ian Rotten on commentary though did say that no matter the
outcome of upcoming matches, it is Hades vs. Dingo on January 3rd
whether it is title vs. title or not. Hades suffered a knee injury in
the early going and Ali went after it with a vicious streak. He
applied a Camel Toe Clutch and everyone thought that Hades might be
forced to tap out but he held on. Hades goes for a Killswitch and
Trik jumps onto the apron. Ali charges but Hades moves and Ali and
Trik collide allowing Hades to get the rollup for the victory. Trik
and Ali attack Hades injured leg until Ego made a save. Mason and
Chambers then come running out to attack Hades & Ego mad that they
got a spot in Candido Cup while Chambers didn't get a chance to
replace Ash as his partner for the tournament. Their interference
brought out Hype and Gameboy. Challenges issued and we have an added
8 man tag.

6. Mickie Knuckles def. Kimberly Kash

Kash comes out limping and holding her leg mocking Mickie. After
Mickie comes out, Kash walks over to the stage and falls on the floor
screaming. Bad idea. Even worse idea...attacking the recovering leg
of Mickie. Kash even applied a deep deep deep cinched single leg
Boston crab on the bad leg. Mickie reached the ropes and then grabbed
ahold of Kimberly and choked her out for the victory.

7. Popular Electronics (Hype & Gameboy)/Egotistico Fantastico/Jason
Hades def. Prince Mustafa Ali/Trik Davis/Corey Mason/Kris Chambers

Trik got on the microphone before the other team came out and said
that they only way they are working twice on a charity show is if
they get the money from the gate intended for the after school
program if they win the match. That dastardly Trik Davis. The match
then starts as soon as Hades and company leave the dressing room.
Brawling galore all over the place. Multiple dives to the floor
including a BIG dive by Hype. While everyone is brawling, Ego and
Hades hit a double killswitch on Ali to get the pin and save the
money for the after school program at the Hartman Rec Center.

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match
Jason Hades vs. Prince Mustafa Ali

Jason Hades has been on a tear in IWA Mid-South since winning the World
Light Heavyweight Title on April 12th at April Blood Showers.  He has
dominated (Jayson) Quick in a series of matches and defeated current
World Champion Dingo before Dingo won that title.  He also went on to
beat the longest reigning Light Heavyweight Champion in IWA history
(longest reigning out of any champion period) in Josh (Abercrombie)
Raymond.  Prince Mustafa Ali has also seen his name go down in the loss
column due to Jason Hades.  However, the rich Prince has a solid legal
team and a vocal mouthpiece led by Joey Eastman that keeps playing the
race card and using terms such as discrimination to keep Ali in the
title picture.  The most infuriating part of the whole thing is that Ali
is one of the best athletes in IWA and would be worthy of the title
shots without bringing politics into the title picture with him.  Will
Jason Hades be able to continue his impressive winning streak in IWA or
will Ali be able to catch him looking ahead to the showdown with Dingo
after the new year in the title vs. title showdown on January 3rd?

Women's Match
"Moose" Mickie Knuckles vs. Kimberly Kash

Mickie is returning from her broken femur and trying to get back into
her dominating style of wrestling and return to TNA.  Kimberly Kash is
still upset about losing back at Extreme Intentions on June 7th when
Mickie's spot in TNA was made available to her if she could beat Mickie.
No amount of cheating and interference could help her then but will it
be enough with Mickie still not at 100% after returning from the surgery
on her leg?

Light Heavyweight Contenders Match
Egotistico Fantastico vs. Trik Davis

This match could also be billed as a heavyweight contenders match as
well.  Trik Davis is a former IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Champion
and once held the currently defunct tag titles.  He would love nothing
more than to become an IWA triple crown winner by adding the World Light
Heavyweight Title to his list of accomplishments.  Ego has been right at
the top of the list of contenders for Dingo and he is right around the
weight limit for being eligible for the light heavyweight title.  He
came up just short against Dingo at the For The Love of Rollin show so
perhaps the Light Heavyweight Title could be closer to his grasp.  The
fans will be solidly behind Ego in this one as maybe only his tag
partner Prince Mustafa Ali is more hated by the IWA fans than Trik.
Will the fans be happy with this outcome or will Trik move a step closer
to his triple crown?

Special Challenge Grudge Match
"Canadian Crazy Horse" Michael Elgin vs. Kris Chambers

This battle between fellow Canadians will take place due to events that
transpired at Autumn Armaggedon in Bellevue, Illinois just recently.
Michael Elgin has been having a rough time in all of his IWA appearances
since the summer due to interference and attacks coming from the
Michigan Militia.  Elgin teamed with Chambers in Bellevue to take on the
Militia but Chambers turned on him.  Chambers called Elgin a sellout for
teaming with Sami Callihan whom is not Canadian.  Chambers promised
Elgin that he would never be able to get another Canadian to team with
him including the man he came to IWA with in the team of Pretty
Unreal...Ash.  These two will tangle in a 3 way dance tables, ladders
and chairs tag match in Bellevue a couple weeks after this but Elgin
wants one on one retribution against Chambers and he wants it on
December 20th.

Plus 3 more matches.   Card subject to change.

Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Ian Rotten

Dingo has been on an impressive roll since winning the IWA Mid-South
title in the beginning of the summer. Roderick has travel issues that
will keep him off of this show but he will be in Joliet the next night.
Trevor Murdock is going to be in Japan and unable to attend. Therefore,
the title match has been changed to Dingo defending against Ian Rotten.
Even if Dingo survives, will he be in any condition to fend off the
challenge of Jason Hades the next night?


IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Jason Hades vs. Ryan Phoenix

Ryan Phoenix issued this challenge at the first show in Bellevue a
couple of weeks ago. He knows that he has never won a match in IWA but
he is the hometown boy trying to live out a dream. Will the hometown
fans be able to cheer on Phoenix to a stunning upset? Will Hades be
focused enough on the challenge of a huge underdog with the career
defining title vs. title match looming the next night?

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs.
Sex Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the
Militia. Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami
Callihan as a tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian
roots. Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2 until
the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin and
Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex Drugs &
Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to Elgin. The only
thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably one
weighs in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100
pound weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial
ability to stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents?
Will Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to
a pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Light Heavyweight Contender's Match
Chuck Taylor vs. The Yellow Dog w/ Classie Lassie

While the winner of this match won't be guaranteed a light heavyweight
title shot, it would definitely go a long way in moving up the ladder
and getting closer to a title shot. Chuck Taylor is a former IWA
Mid-South World Heavyweight Champion (the longest reigning one in IWA
history), IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Champion and IWA
Mid-South Women's Champion. He's been out with an injury since taking a
nasty spill at the 2008 TPI vs. Cassandro and is ready to once again
stake his claim to be one of the top performers in IWA. The Yellow Dog
has become an instant fan favorite with his zany performances. If the
fans don't like the zaniness, the men definitely like the beauty of
Classie Lassie being ringside with him. This match is sure to entertain,
if not athletically then definitely comically.


New Matches


2 Out of 3 Falls
Egotistico Fantastico vs. Prince Mustafa Ali

Prince Mustafa Ali demanded to be in the TPI after losing a match
against Egotistico Fantastico. Ali claimed it was only racism that kept
him out of the prestigious tournament. Ian agreed to let him into the
TPI but made his first round matchup a rematch against Ego. Ego won that
match too and went one to be one of the MVPs of the tournament. Ali has
failed a couple of times at wresting the light heavyweight title from
Hades and in order to get another crack at the title he needs to prove
himself by taking out his old nemesis Ego. Can Ali defeat Ego not only
once but do it twice in the same night to get the victory? Will Ali use
the shoe bomb and the weapons of mass destruction or will Ego keep him
at bay with Taco Pizza? Either way, the crowd is sure to be the winner
in this one as two of the top young guys in IWA tear into each other to
start the new year on a roll!

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series
of great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory over
the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title vs. Light Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

These two men have dominated IWA Mid-South in 2008. Dingo has taken on
all challengers for his heavyweight title and defeated them all. He has
finally squashed the dreams of Drake Younger and beaten his biggest foe
for the final time. Drake can't challenge for the title again as long as
Dingo remains champion. Who is next in line to challenge Dingo? How
about the last man to defeat him in IWA? Jason Hades has been on an
equally impressive roll in IWA and even has a victory over Dingo before
Dingo won the title. Hades issued the challenge at the end of the
Candido Cup and Dingo promised to walk out with both titles in a
"cakewalk." Who will be the last man standing with all the IWA titles
when this one ends?

Grudge Match

Da Soul Touchaz (Trauma & Marshe) vs. The Soul Shooters

Da Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rockett & Acid Jazz) won the 2008 Candido Cup
but in the process, Jazz broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. If that
wasn't bad enough, then the Soul Shooters (Dru & Q Skillz) ran in and
attacked the injured Jazz and Marshe before Trauma could run them off.
This time the Soul Touchaz know that the Soul Shooters are coming. Which
team will prove to have all the Soul in the IWA?

Battle of the Butchers

Necro Butcher vs. Bill the Butcher

Bill the Butcher made quite the impression on IWA fans at the tryout
show and they immediately started thinking about how great a match vs.
Necro would be. Necro is always looking for a fight and is more than
ready to test the new kid on the block to see if he is all hype or the
real deal. Join us in Joliet to find out if Bill is ready to make the
giant leap and can stand toe to toe with the Necro Butcher!

Also on the card:

Strong Style Showdown

Roderick Strong vs. Michael Elgin

Roderick won the Revolution Strong Style Tournament. Michael Elgin is a
former IWA Strong Style Champion. These two are probably hands down the
hardest choppers in IWA right now. Who will be able to come out on top
in this showdown between two of the toughest in the independents? Can
the Messiah of the Backbreaker get the bigger Elgin up for one of his
backbreakers? Can Elgin ground and pound the RSST champion? One thing is
definite...they are going to hit each other so hard that even the fans
in attendance will be able to feel it!

Battle For Positioning as Contender for IWA Title

Jimmy Jacobs vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami has been on an undeniable roll in IWA. He made it to the finals of
TPI, RSST and Double Death. While making it to the finals was quite an
accomplishment for Sami, he is pissed that he failed to win all three
times. He has made Ian Rotten submit and beat Mickie Knuckles in her
return from a broken leg. Now he has his sights set on Jimmy Jacobs.
Jimmy is the 2nd longest reigning IWA heavyweight champion in history.
He has come up short in his quest to get that title back against Chuck
Taylor and Dingo. The quickest way to get another shot is to beat the
man who made it to 3 tournament finals in IWA in a calendar year. Can
Sami continue on his roll and perhaps become a number one contender to
the heavyweight title or will Jimmy Jacobs use him as a stepping stone
to get back to where he wants to be?

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match - Drake's Last Chance At
Title As Long As Dingo is Champion

Dingo vs Drake Younger

Drake has had a few chances at taking the title away from Dingo but
Dingo had always found a way to hang on and pull out a
victory...until Lethal Lottery when the match ended with a double
pin. Drake thinks he is the uncrowned champion since he won the TPI
and feels like the title should have been defended in the tournament
like it has been in years past. Dingo feels slighted that Drake
thinks he would have won the tournament if Dingo had remained instead
of bowing out to rid the IWA of Jaysin Strife. This will be Drake's
last chance at Dingo. If Drake loses, he can't get another title shot
as long as Dingo remains the IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight
Champion. This is sure to be one hell of a donnybrook just like the
other battles between these two with an added sense of desperation
coming from Drake knowing that it is his last chance.

Can Dingo do the same to Drake that he did to Strife or will Dingo
finally fall prey to one of his predators?

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Jason Hades vs Troy Walters

Jason Hades has been a fighting champion that has accepted all
challenges made to him. Troy Walters issued a challenge and Hades
basically laughed in his face. It seems to be a recurring trend for
Hades because he did the same to Ryan Phoenix in Bellevue. Walters
was offended but what Jason said was basically true. He does have a
lot of victories over Troy around the Midwest. Troy definitely has
the talent and the motivation to present a serious challenge to Hades.

Will Hades underestimate Walters this time? Will Hades let his
success go to his head? Will Walters have a foolproof game plan going
on? We'll find out on Friday night!

**********************************************
Here are the results from our debut show in Bellevue, IL 11/28 -
  "Autumn Armaggedon". Crowd was a little bigger than recent Joliet
shows but they were the loudest crowd I've seen in quite some time.
They were clapping, cheering, stomping their feet and making noise
almost the whole night.

We return to Bellevue on Friday night, January 2nd. More details on
that show later in this writeup.

1. Egotistico Fantastico def. Dustin Rayz. Ego was very popular with
the crowd and definitely kicked the night off on the right foot. Ego
wins with the springboard moonsault.

2. Marshe Rockett w/ C Red def. Ryan Phoenix. The crowd was not as
pro Soul Touchaz as the Chicagoland crowd but Ryan Phoenix was a
hometown kid. Marshe wins with the Ace Crusher.

3. Trauma w/ C Red def. Bull Schmitt. Bull was a tall big man that
was a friend of Trevor Murdock. I'm guessing someone from the St.
Louis area might be able to give more information on him. Trauma wins
with a DVD.

4. The Michigan Militia (Jeff Brooks & Brian Skyline) def. Michael
Elgin & Kris Chambers. Chambers takes a beating for most of the match
and finally makes the tag to Elgin. Elgin comes in and cleans house.
Chambers then turns on his partner and drops Elgin with a superkick
and pulls the Militia on top for the pin. Chambers immediately grabs
the mic and says that Elgin "sold out" Canada by getting Sami
Callihan as a tag partner at Double Death. He says that no one from
Canada including Ash or "even Bret Hart" will ever team with Elgin
again due to his turning his back on the Canadian roots.

5. Sami Callihan def. Mickie Knuckles. Sami comes out pissed off that
he doesn't get a title shot due to Dingo being injured and unable to
make it to the show. He challenges anyone to come to the ring and get
punched in the face if they think they are bad enough to take him.
Mickie answers the challenge. Sami says that he'll treat her like he
did her friend LuFisto or even better yet like he did her mentor, Ian
Rotten. The fight is on and Mickie took a beating in this match. She
dished it right back out but I think if she had a bit more recovery
time from the broken leg that she could have put up a better fight.
Sami wins with a Saitoplex.

6. Michael Elgin goes to a no contest with Kris Chambers. Michael
Elgin (probably the most popular guy on the show with the fans) comes
to the ring and grabs the microphone and calls out Chambers. Chambers
comes to the ringside area and Elgin topes thru the ropes onto
Chambers and the fight is on. Corey Mason runs out and saves Chambers
from sure death or at least injury at the rate it was going. The
Michigan Militia then run out and form an alliance with Chambers and
Mason and the four men stomp a mudhole in Michael Elgin. The Michigan
Militia then end their alliance and destroy Chambers and Mason and
leave them laying too.

Announced for Jan 2 - Grits N Gravy vs. Michigan Militia vs. Sex,
Drugs & Wrestling in a TLC match

7. Jason Hades def. Prince Mustafa Ali, Sal Thomaselli & Jake Crist
in a 4 way elimination match to retain the IWA World Light
Heavyweight Title. Prince Ali was very sneaky in this match. Sal
leveled Crist with a double bounce of the ropes lariat. Ali ditched
Sal from behind and jumped on Crist to eliminate him first. Hades was
then able to lay out Sal but Ali ditched Hades from behind to jump on
Sal and get the pin. It then came down to Hades vs. Ali and Hades
wins with a Killswitch.

Ryan Phoenix then comes to the ring. He challenges Hades to a title
match on January 2nd "even though I've never won a match in IWA" but
says that with his hometown behind him that he is a cinch to win the
title. Hades accepts the challenge and informs Phoenix that he has
beaten far better challengers than Phoenix and that he'll show him
why on January 2nd.

So on January 2nd - Jason Hades vs. Ryan Phoenix for the IWA Mid-
South World Light Heavyweight Title

8. Trevor Murdock def. Ian Rotten. Trevor gets on the microphone
before the match and announces that he is a sports entertainer
now...a 3 time former World Tag Team Champion sports entertainer at
that. He says that there will be no fighting, no brawling in the
crowd, no weapons...just straight up wrestling. That lasted for about
the first 3 minutes of the match before it went to the floor and the
fight was on. Ian was busted open slightly before the action returned
to the ring. Murdock wins with a bulldog off the ropes onto an opened
up chair in the middle of the ring.

Ian and Trevor trade insults and threats on the microphone leading to:

January 2nd - Ian Rotten vs. Trevor Murdock - Hardcore Rules Match
*******************************************
Here are the results for the November Tryout Show - "Feast or Famine"
from Joliet, IL on 11/29

1) The Yellow Dog def. "The Warfare" Jeremy Hadley. Yellow Dog's
attire has a tail and he was chasing it. Hadley was giving him orders
and the Dog obliged by rolling over, etc. Yellow Dog wins by jumping
from the top rope and hitting a DDT. Dog gets a please come back
chant. Fans loved him.

2) Cameron Jacobs def. Danny McKay with a DVD into a Stunner.

3) Michael and Brandon Havik def. Andrew Waymen and David Higsey.

4) Cameron Cross def. Morky Mang. Both guys are from the Minnesota
area.

5) Darkness def. Dustin Michaels. Please come back chants for both.

6) Kareem Abdul Jamar def. Chris Mayne. Please come back chants for
both men, as well.

7) El Blue Inferno def. Loco Uno Juevo.

8) Kody Rice, T W 3, and Jay Money w/ Bling Bling def. Shangel Creed,
Aiden Blackheart, and Corey Cagerick.

9) Brett Taylor and Michael Gaden def. Lincoln Mosely and Scott
Sexton.

10) The Fearless One Sly def. Memphisto.

11) Jorden Vandal def. Christian Rose

12) Scott Ray def. Justin Grunge, Rick Stone, and Matt Crosby.

13) Simpatico def. Justin Fowler.

1. Jason Hades def. Silas Young with the Killswitch

2. Acid Jazz def. Marshe Rocket

3. Dysfunction def. Dinn T. Moore

4. Prince Mustafa Ali def. Ricky Steamboat Jr. - Steamboat looked
exactly like his famous father and delivered just as good of an
armdrag as his dad as well. It is just a matter of time before he
gets a chance with Vince or TNA. This was his third or fourth match I
believe and you can see the talent that he possesses.

5. Darin Waid def. Matt Riot

6. Drake Younger def. Trik Davis with a brutal Drake's Landing

7. Quick def. Egotistico Fantastico - Quick won with the most
fantastic looking finish I may have ever seen. It was a shooting star
press with a frogsplash like tuck and extension that went out to the
middle of the ring. Quick was wearing a throwback Allen Iverson 76ers
jersey and jeans with one pant leg up and one pant leg down...the
crowd chanted Cena at him.

8. Sami Callihan def. Ian Rotten via tapout. Sami worked over Ian's
broken hand the entire match. At the end, he stuck Ian's arm into a
chair on the floor and then delivered a chairshot with another chair
onto the trapped broken hand. Ian immediately tapped out. Towards the
end of the show, Ian called out Sami to the ringside area and told
him that eventually his hand will heal and he'll be looking for
revenge but he credited Sami for being sadistic enough to do that to
his hand.

9. Hardcore Harry & Bao Nguyen def. Davey Vega & Steven Kennedy

10. Drake Younger won the battle royal over Jason Hades, Dysfunction,
Acid Jazz, Prince Mustafa Ali, Quick and Darin Waid. One of the
highlights of this match was the catfight between Joey Eastman and
Kimberly Kash after Quick eliminated Ali from the battle royal. C Red
was the impromptu ref for the catfight. Eventually Quick and Ali
pulled them apart and eye gouging, hair pulling, rolling on the mat
and even punches and slaps were exchanged.

11. Dingo & Drake Younger wrestled to a double pin on a German
Suplex. Dingo retains the title.

Drake demanded another chance and Ian granted it to him...December 5
at the Strong Style Tournament, Drake vs. Dingo for the World
Heavyweight Title...This will be Drake's last chance as long as Dingo
is the world champion if he loses.

Replacing Drake Younger in the Strong Style Tournament will be
Roderick Strong

*************************************

Keep up to date with all things IWA Mid-South Wrestling by going to
our message board and discussing IWA with all our fans.

http://iwamidsouth.proboards19.com/index.cgi?

If you have been to the last few shows in Joliet, you have seen the
very low turnouts at the events. We realize that the economy is rough
right now and that there isn't a lot of disposable income. We also
hope that everyone realizes that we are trying to put on the best
shows that we possibly can without doing so poorly that we can't
afford to do any more shows. We listen to the fans and try to give
you guys what you ask for and what has been asked for quite a bit is
the return of the Lethal Lottery show. Here is your chance to see
what you have asked for and we are going to give a price break to
those that can help us out in these economic hard times by bringing a
group of fans to the show.

General admission tickets will be buy 2 GA tickets and get 1 free for
the groups of three or more that come out to this show.


2008 Lethal Lottery
Saturday night, November 15th, 2008
Hartman Rec Center
511 N. Collins Street
Joliet, IL

Belltime: 8 pm; Doors open: 7 pm

Tickets: $15 & $10


12 men will compete in the Lethal Lottery where the fans will
determine the matches by drawing names out of hat. We can see friend
vs. friend or unique matchups that you would never see without the
help of a blind draw. Wrestlers will have to think on their feet and
come up with a game plan on the fly due to not knowing their opponent
ahead of time. The names will be drawn and music will be played and
the wrestlers will come to the ring. It will be time to separate the
men from the boys with the Lethal Lottery!!!!

The 6 winners of the matches will then compete in a battle royal. You
can eliminate opponents via pinfall, submission or by throwing them
over the top rope.

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match


Dingo vs. winner of the battle royal

Dingo will put his title on the line against a wrestler that will
have definitely earned the title shot. Winning a singles match and
then eliminating 5 other challengers in a grueling battle royal in
the same night definitely deserves a title shot. Dingo will be at a
disadvantage by not knowing who he will have to defend the title
against while everyone competing will know the prize they are
fighting for. However, the champion will have the advantage of being
completely fresh for the match while the challenger is going to have
to display amazing stamina and endurance to win three different times
in one night. Can someone run the gauntlet and defeat the fighting
champion or will Dingo leave the Hartman Rec Center with his title
belt still around his waist and looking ahead to a pinfall counts
anywhere match with Sami Callihan in Bellevue, Illinois?

Special Challenge Match Not Part of Lethal Lottery

"The New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. ECW Original Ian Rotten

Sami got a taste of hardcore at Double Death. He had to taste his own
blood. He discovered that he actually liked it. What did he like even
more though? Making his opponents taste their blood! Sami was
defeated by The Bloody Brothers at Double Death and Sami wants a
chance to avenge that defeat. He also knows that he has the biggest
match in his career so far two weeks later when he potentially goes
for the IWA Mid-South World Title. What better way to prepare for a
pinfalls count anywhere title match than stepping in the ring with a
man that has more experience than just about anybody in a hardcore
rules match? He doesn't want to take on a Bloody Brother though...he
wants the ECW original...he wants Ian Rotten. Ian knows that he needs
to have that killer instinct that he made famous as Ian Rotten to
wrestle with his broken hand and he is more than willing to give to
Sami what he craves...the taste of his own blood and to show Sami
that it doesn't matter if it comes from a Bloody Brother or a Rotten!

Much more to be added to this event.

You can order your tickets now via www.paypal.com and sending the
payment to rottenwife@...

Autumn Armageddon
Friday night, November 28th, 2008
The Bellevue Plaza
325 Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue, IL 61604

Belltime: 8 pm; Doors open: 7 pm
Tickets: $15 ringside $10 bleacher general admission

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match - Pinfalls Count Anywhere

Dingo (if still champion) vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

These two have done battle before but no one is on a bigger role in
IWA Mid-South than Sami Callihan. The New Horror is making a name for
himself all over the indies and wants to become IWA Mid-South World
Heavyweight Champion in order to show that he is the next great
breakout star to come from IWA Mid-South. Dingo has fought all
challengers and given most several chances to win the crown. One of
the most fighting champions in the IWA history, Dingo has a lot to
say on who he thinks should be the next breakout star...HIMSELF.
These two are going to battle all over the Bellevue Plaza to prove
superiority and leave as the champion.

Special Challenge Match

Former WWE Superstar Trevor Murdock vs. ECW Original Ian Rotten

Trevor and Ian have a mutual respect for each other but they also had
some problems recently in a tag team match in Joliet. What better way
to solve problems then by stepping into the ring and beating the hell
out of each other in a friendly but spirited contest inside the
squared circle? Trevor said that he didn't want a tobacco chewing Ian
Bloody in this match...he wanted the ECW original...the hardcore
icon...the hardest hitter that he can remember doing battle with
several years ago...Ian Rotten. What's the saying about being careful
what you wish for???

Also scheduled to appear: "Wild Eyed Southern Boy" Tracy Smothers

Much more to be added to this event. We hope that our fans from the
Chicago land area will come out and join us for our debut in Bellevue
as we try to bring our brand of wrestling to Central Illinois. We
will be running commercials in the area as they are much more
affordable in Peoria than in the Chicagoland area. Hopefully we get a
bunch of new fans to meet our regulars and have a great show after
Thanksgiving with our family...the IWA fans.

Bellevue is 2 hours southwest of Joliet. Here are directions from the
Chicagoland area...I would hope that everyone planning on going to
the show knows how to get to I - 55.  So here are the directions from

questions about the dance you can reach Beth @ 502-759-9264 or Jen @
502-812-7432. They are two of my good friends and they have done
other fundraisers for us. I hope to get to met some of Rollins
friends from the IWA family @ this dance. If Rollin is out of the
hospital, he will try to come- if it is just for a little bit. I
would like to thank everyone for all of your support, I do believe
the prayers are working or God would have taken him a long time ago.

Love
Angie (Rollin's wife)

Joliet, IL

Belltime: 4:30 pm; Doors Open at 4 pm
All tickets: $5 and only available at the door

This is the Bears bye week so you will not be missing any Bears
action.

THE FANS IN ATTENDANCE DECIDE WHO COMES BACK

Ian won't decide. Mickie won't decide. Jim won't decide. It will be
the fans that are there and watching the show that will decide who
they want to see brought back for further matches in IWA.

There will be about 15 matches in total...all involving new people
wanting a chance to impress and earn the chance to come back to IWA
in the future.

We want a big crowd to be able to come out and watch this show (it'll
end by 9 for those that have school & work the next day and thus the
$5 tix) so the tryout performers have a good crowd to work in front
of and so we can have plenty of feedback about who deserves to come
back.

There are some guys that we have heard a lot about but just haven't
had an opening to bring in yet so we think that there will be some
very good matches to come from this show and some new talent to add
to future shows.

We will release more information as the show draws nearer.

See you at the tryouts!

IWA MId-South World Heavyweight TItle Match

Dingo vs. Jimmy Jacobs

Dingo prides himself on being a fighting champion and taking on all
comers. Jimmy Jacobs' history with the IWA title needs no refreshing.
He wants redemption and thinks the time is prime to defeat Dingo.
Dingo has finally ended his war with Jaysin Strife but paid a costly
price and then the rematch with Drake Younger took a lot out of him
as well. Can Jimmy take the next step in his quest for redemption or
will Dingo add another notch to his belt as a fighting champion?


IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Jason Hades vs. Acid Jazz

Jason Hades was pinned in a tag match by Acid Jazz's tag team partner
Marshe Rocket. He offered the Soul Touchaz a title shot for whichever
one wanted it. Both men jumped at the opportunity so it was left up
to a vote by the fan's in attendance at the show. By the narrowest of
margins, 2 votes, Acid Jazz won the vote and earned the title shot.
Can the Soul Touchaz make it two in a row over the champ and claim
their first taste of IWA or will Hades rise to the occassion and gain
the victory in singles competition to retain the title he has
dominately held this year?


Brass Knuckles On A Pole Match - Kimberly Kash banned from building

Vito Thomaselli vs. Sal Thomaselli

These brothers have had a falling out of epic proportions. Jealousy
has turned to hatred and not even a Chicago Street Fight could stop
the carnage. Since Vito resorted to using brass knuckles for the
victory, this time the brass knuckles are going to be out in the open
and available for Sal to use as well. Will Sal continue to be
everyone's "favorite Thomaselli" or will Vito win this war and prove
to everyone that he is the reason that The Iron Saints were the best
tag team in the midwest?


Special Challenge Match

Prince Mustafa Ali vs. Chris Hero

Ali wants to make a splash and improve upon his momentum of good
performances. He still needs that breakout victory and his solution
is simple. Defeat the former franchise of the IWA...everyone's
hero...Chris Hero. Hero has a target on his back by establishing
himself as one of the best. Can he show why he was the franchise for
IWA for so many years or will Ali get the victory he is so
desperately seeking?

#1 Contender To Light Heavyweight Title

Marshe Rocket vs. Troy Walters

Marshe Rocket got a huge pinfall victory over Light Heavyweight
Champion Jason Hades in a tag match at the 12th anniversary show. His
tag team partner Acid Jazz won the fan's vote by 2 votes to get the
title match vs. Hades though. Marshe wants his chance but Troy
Walters also wants a chance to take on his sometimes tag partner and
sometimes nemesis. Hades blew off the challenge issued by Troy
Walters saying that he has beaten Walters all over the midwest too
many times to count. Walters took offense to those comments and asked
for a title match. Marshe also asked for a title match since he was
unhappy that he got the pinfall but lost the fan vote. Now both men
will get the chance to challenge for the IWA Mid-South World Light
Heavyweight Title...all they have to do is defeat the other man and
EARN it!

Special Challenge Match

Josh Raymond vs. Lionel Knight

Josh heard that Lionel Knight impressed people in his debut vs.
Josh's student Brian Skyline last week. Josh wants to show that there
is no way that a Canadian can be impressive even in victory let alone
defeat. Lionel wants to prove that last week's good showing wasn't a
fluke but that he is a major player to be reckoned with in the coming
months in the light heavyweight division. What better way to prove
that then get in the ring with Josh Raymond? It's another chapter in
the war between Canada & Michigan and this time the Militia is
bringing its general to the fight.

Also appearing on this show: Trik Davis, Michael Elgin, Quick and
other members of the Michigan Militia.

More to be added to this show.

Well here is your answer and here is your big chance!!!!!

IWA Mid-South is opening a new building in the Chicagoland area that
we will be running weekly shows. Ian Rotten & Mickie Knuckles will

to join IWA. If you want more information on the Ian Rotten Wrestling
Academy...email ianrotten420@...

Also, we are going to be running a doubleshot on the weekend of
October 24th & October 25th.

This weekend is going to be an opportunity for all the wrestlers that
have emailed, messaged and asked to be on an IWA show.

The entire weekend is going to be tryout matches in an effort to
impress and EARN your way onto the IWA Mid-South roster.

If you are an aspiring wrestler that thinks they have what it takes
to EARN a spot then email ianrotten420@... and provide a phone
number for him to get ahold of you and give you the details and see
if you want to try it.

Female wrestlers are also encouraged to give this a try just as much
as the men are encouraged.

Fans will be able to take in both nights of action for a total cost

tryout, it would benefit you to bring family and friends to cheer you

*************************************************
Here are the results for the 12th Anniversary show on Oct. 4th

1. Trauma of the Soul Touchaz def. Nick Watts. Watts was a Canadian
making his debut. Trauma was very impressive in just overpowering the
smaller man and showing that he is a dominant force to be reckoned
with in IWA.

2. Dysfunction def. Marco Cordova

3. Michael Elgin def. Prince Mustafa Ali w/ Kimberly Kash. Joey
Eastman arranged for his good friend Kimberly Kash to be in Ali's
corner and to help him out in this contest. Michael Elgin pulls out
the victory with a new submission hold variation of a Dragon sleeper.

4. Brian Skyline def. Lionel Knight. Knight was another Canadian
making his debut. He was a very impressive high flyer that was
breaking out some good aerial offense. Skyline pulls out the victory
though and then Jeff Brooks & Kid Hybrid run out and join Skyline in
celebration in the ring. The three then start to put the boots to the
Canadian. Nick Watts comes out to help his fellow Canadian but the
Michigan Militia is too much for him especially after the damage he
took from Trauma. Michael Elgin then runs in and saves Watts & Knight
as the Michigan Militia decide to retreat and fight another day.

5. The Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rocket & Acid Jazz) def. Jason Hades &
Troy Walters. Very good match that went back and forth until all hell
broke loose towards the end. Soul Touchaz gain advantage and take
turns doing double team moves to Walters and Hades. Marshe Rocket ends
up pinning Jason Hades after one of the double team moves. After the
match, Hades gets on the mic and gives kudos to the Soul Touchaz and
says it would be an honor to defend his title against either one of
them out of respect for them beating him in the tag match. Troy
Walters gets pissed off and asks about a title shot for himself. Hades
tells Troy that he has beaten him way too many times in other
promotions and that Troy just isn't in his league or worthy of a title
shot. Troy says "she was right when she told me that you were too
scared to face me" and leaves. Hades blows it off and returns his
attention to The Soul Touchaz. C Red runs and gets Ian and says lets
make the match. Marshe & Jazz couldn't agree on who should get the
title match so it was left up to the fans. Fans voted during
intermission as Jazz and Rocket went around to everyone campaigning
for votes. Acid Jazz won the vote by two votes and will face Jason
Hades for the IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title next
Saturday night in the debut show at the new IWA Arena.

6. Vito Thomaselli w/ Kimberly Kash def. Sal Thomaselli in the Chicago
Street Fight. I was not able to see this one so I don't know what
happened but I know that Kimberly got involved. A rematch for next
week...Sal vs. Vito in a brass knuckles on a pole match and Kimberly
is barred from the building. Perhaps someone else that was at the show
can give some more details.

7. Necro Butcher def. Sami Callihan. Again I did not get to see this
one either. Nick Maniwa said it was the match of the night. Maybe he
will get on here and give more details to fill everyone in.

8. Dingo def. Drake Younger to retain the IWA Mid-South World
Heavyweight Title. Very even match as both men were still showing the
affects of last weekend's wars at TPI. Brawled all over the building
and it appeared that Drake finally had the title won. He dropped Dingo
with a sick looking inverted brainbuster but Dingo kicked out at the
very last milisecond. Drake then set up a table at an angle in the
middle of the ring and set Dingo up on the top rope. Drake then went
up top as well and went for the Drake's Landing off the top thru the
table. Dingo was able to kick his feet enough to go off balance and
force Drake's bad knee from TPI to give way. Dingo then was able to
spin on top of Drake as they went falling through the table and get
the victory.

9. Corporal's Army def. Cult Fiction in the barbed wire madness match.
Deranged & Toby come to the ring with Billy and wait to see who
Corporal has. Corporal comes out by himself and Cult Fiction is giddy
to see that Corporal doesn't have a partner. Corporal calls them
dumbasses and said that he has a partner. You didn't know if I was
going to go IWA or JCW but I did both. Ian Bloody then comes to the
ring and the match is underway. About two minutes in to the match,
Billy and Toby use half a roll of duct tape to tape Ian to the
ringpost and Ian is out of the match as he can't get free from all the
duct tape. Billy, Deranged and Toby then triple team Corporal for
several minutes until Necro comes running out. Necro starts beating
the hell out of Deranged and Billy is flipping out thinking that Necro
was a member of Cult Fiction. Necro stays on Deranged while Toby and
Corporal fight it out. Deranged is gashed horribly and losing a ton of
blood. Necro and Toby stare each other down a couple of times but
never come to blows during the match. Billy starts yelling at Toby to
go after Necro. Toby gets a barbed wire tennis racket and ends up
blasting Deranged with it. Deranged gets triple teamed by Corp, Necro
& Toby and then Corporal hits boot camp through a barbed wire board
and gets the pin on Deranged. Scar finally gets Ian cut away from the
ringpost now that the ringside area is safe and Corporal is standing
tall at the end of the night having pulled one over on Cult Fiction.

IWA Mid-South Wrestling is proud to be celebrating our 12th
anniversary this month.  12 years is a long time for an independent
wrestling company to stay alive and provide over 500 shows and help
develop the amount of talent that we have over the years.  CM Punk,
Colt Cabana, Matt Sydal, Jimmy Jacobs, Necro Butcher, Mickie Knuckles,
Shark Boy, BJ Whitmer, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Delirious, Brad
Bradley, Tyler Black, Josh Raymond, Nate Webb, Arik Cannon, Chris Hero
and so many more stars spent a lot of time in IWA Mid-South before
moving on to ROH, TNA, WWE and even the short lived WSX on MTV.  We
take a lot of pride in seeing our friends make it in this business and
knowing that we got to help them along the way.  We look forward to
doing the same for the next crop of young up and coming stars that are
going through IWA now.

Here is a partial lineup for our 12th Anniversary Show:

Cleaning up the blood before going right into the tournament.

1. Egotistico Fantastico def. Prince Mustafa Ali.
Ego brings out his dog, Fido Fantastico, to the ring with him to
counter the presence of Joey Eastman. Joey Eastman swears that the dog
doesn't have a manager's license and can't be ringside. Both
competitors start off with a catch as catch can offense. Ali is
frustrated. A friend of Ego's takes Fido from the ringside area so
Joey Eastman doesn't do anything dastardly to him. Ego backflips over
a charging Ali and dropkicks him in the mush as he rebounds off the
ropes. Ego then takes out a leg on Ali and delivers a surfboard into a
pancake and Ali & Eastman are flustered. Ego sends Ali to the floor
and then goes for a tope. Ali from the floor delivers a dropkick that
knocks Ego back into the ring and Ali has the momentum. Ali sends Ego
to the floor and Eastman whips Ego with his pink sequin hat and then
runs like a girl to get away. Ali with a gourdbuster into a gutbuster
across his knees. Ali goes for a somersault plancha to the floor but
Ego catches him and suplexes him into the chairs. Stiff exchange of
roundhouse bodyshot kicks. Ego then with a spinning sunset bomb for a
two count. Ego with a fireman's carry running Ali into the turnbuckles
into a DVD. The ref is with Ali as Ego goes up top. Eastman to the
ring apron and throws his purple headdress over Ego's head. Ego can't
see and that allows Ali to go up top and hit a crushing back senton as
Ego was draped on the top ropes. Ali follows with the inverted 450
Weapons of Mass Destruction but Ego kicks out at 2. Eastman distracts
the ref while Ali sets up a chair. Ego blocks him and knocks Joey to
the floor. He drops Ali and then hits the springboard moonsault for
the pinfall. Ego tries to shake Ali's hand as the crowd chants for Ali
in a show of respect. Ali flips him the bird and walks out. Ego & Fido
then retreat to the dressing room victoriously.

have found a building to run weekly by the Chicagoland Speedway in
Joliet and to have our wrestling school in. Shows will be run
weekly...three weeks of smaller scale shows and then the fourth week
will be a big show. Ian talks more about his moving to the Chicagoland
area and building up the younger talent.

4. Sara Del Rey def. Trik Davis.
Trik just got booed out of the building. Loud "Sara's going to kill
you" chants. "Die Trik Die" chants from the other half of the crowd
that doesn't want to chant "Sara's going to kill you." Sara is
thoroughly outwrestling Trik in the early going. Trik is upset and
Sara is blowing him kisses of death. Trik backs Sara in to the corner
and slaps her face. Sara then proceeds to kick his ass. Trik goes to
the floor to try to run away but just like in all the horror movies,
Trik trips and falls and the ass whipping continues. Standing ovation
from the crowd as Sara beats Trik's ass on the floor. Trik blocks an
attempted suplex from the apron in to the ring and he takes control on
Sara. Chris Hero has joined Mike Z on commentary and he is not a fan
of Trik Davis either. Trik is full of underhanded tactics to keep
control on Sara. He wraps his legs around her head and then spins over
and repeatedly rams her hand into the canvas while it is between his
legs. Sara fights back with a somersault kick to the face. Sara with
about 4 running Yakuza kicks to Trik's chest. Sara with a German
Suplex with a bridge but only two. Sara goes for a backslide and Trik
rolls out of it. He delivers a vicious superkick while Sara is on her
knees. He then taunts Hero by locking in a Hangman's Clutch. Trik lets
go of the Clutch to taunt some more. Sara quickly rolls him up for the
pinfall. Trik confronts Hero at the announce table but wisely walks away.

5. Drake Younger def. Too Tuff Tony.
With Mike Quackenbush having to withdraw from this tournament, Drake
Younger has taken over as the sentimental favorite with the crowd
based on the reaction to his entrance. Tony & Drake exchange arm
ringers and the crowd gives them "hey"s and "oh"s. Hammerlocks
exchanged. These two are going hold for hold so far. Test of strength.
Tony with the leverage but Drake with a powerful neck bridge. Tony
puts the boots to Drake and then goes after the left leg of Drake.
Looks like Tony wants to outwrestle Drake and he is beginning to do so
by taking out a wheel. Drop toe hold followed by an anklelock. Drake
almost makes the ropes but Tony drags him back to the middle of the
ring. Drake finally makes it to the ropes but the damage has been
done. Tony follows with a dragonscrew legwhip. Tony with an STF but
Drake struggles his way to the ropes. Crowd doesn't know how to react
to Tony outwrestling Drake. Drake runs at Tony but Tony does a rolling
single leg takedown and rolls Drake's leg back up into another
submission hold. Drake uses all his strength to suplex Tony & then
apply a double underhook chicken wing. Tony fights out and hits a
backwards somersault kick to the face to take Drake back down. Drake
fights back and goes for Drakes Landing but Tony counters by inverted
piledriving Drake straight down to the canvas. Tony is having all the
answers for everything that Drake tries at least for the first 10
minutes of the match so far. Tony then crotches Drake in the middle of
the ropes and goes up top...balance walks down the ropes and hits a
rana on Drake off the top ropes. Cradle belly to back suplex by Tony
but only two. Tony goes for his finisher but Drake flips out and goes
for the Drake's Landing. Tony flips out but Drake quickly rolls him up
with a small package and gets the three count. Loud chants of "Tony"
as a sign of appreciation by the crowd. Drake definitely would have
lost on points but this isn't amateur wrestling so the small package
advances Drake to the second round.

6. Cassandro def. Chuck Taylor Both Jim and I wanted to watch this
match so no details. But I will say that this match is a must see.

7. Sami Callihan def. Chris Hero

Some very nasty stiff shots exchanged in the opening minute. Sami has
a headlock applied to Hero. STIFF forearm in the corner by Hero. Sami
fires back with a Nothern Lights suplex for 2. Sami on the apron.
Another STIFF forearm by Hero. Hero stomping the daylights out of Sami
screaming that he is Chris Hero and he is TPI. Back inside with a 2
count. Hero stomps on the hand. Stiff kick to the ribs. Hard chops and
a 2 count for Hero. Cravate by Hero. Sami counters and Hero another
STIFF forearm to the side of Sami's head. Kicks and a spinning elbow
drop give Hero a 2 Count. Hero locks the arms of Sami in his legs in a
submission. Forerms in the corner. Irish whips by Hero into the
corner. Hero pulls him out but gets a side suplex. Stiff shots by
Callihan. Callihan gets a 2 count. More shots. Hero reverses a
powerbomb and hits one of his own for a near fall. Hero with more
shots until Sami hits another side suplex. 1 count on Hero. 2 stiff
forearms and a 2 count for Hero. 2 near falls and a clothesline by
Sami. Sami rolls Hero out of the corner for 3! Sami Callihan is
victorious!

Trik Davis comes out and compares Sami Callihan and Mike Quackenbush
by saying that they both HAve beaten Hero in the first round of TPI.
Hero reminds Trik who brought him in to this business. Trik slaps Hero
not once, but twice and on the third slap they start brawling and have
to be seperated. Hero goes up to Ian demanding a match with Trik
tomorrow. Ian asks Trik if he has the balls to face Hero. Trik says no
and Ian tells Trik that he can go to Berwyn and continue sucking the
man with no name dick. Trik then decides to man up accept Hero' s
challenge. So tomorrow it's Trik Davis vs Chris Hero Falls Count Anywhere.


Ian is out saying he had things fall through so he brought in some
guys to help things.

NECRO BUTCHER IS HERE!!!!

EDDIE KINGSTON IS HERE!!!!

Both men are brawling around the ring.

advantage. Claudio is also staying one move ahead of Jimmyy with the
wrestling. Claudio goes for the Ricola Bomb but Jimmy counters and
turns it into a chokeout attempt. Brawling to the floor and Jimmy has
the upper hand. Jimmy puts Claudio in a chair on the floor and goes
back into the ring and delivers a running tope through the ropes onto
Claudio crushing the metal chair. Jimmy trying to recover from the
opening moments of the match while applying a body scissors on

Leaves IWA for 1 Year

Dingo is running Strife into every turnbuckle just circling the ring.
These two are putting it all on the line. Title and their job security
in IWA. They have taken it to the floor and Dingo just dropped the
challenger with something that caused a huge thud on the floor. Strife
slams Dingo on the floor. The cut on Dingo has been reopened and he is
bleeding profusely. They are brawling by the stage. I just got covered
in someone's drink as Dingo smashed it in Strife's face. Dingo takes
the bottom rope off the ring. He is fish hooking Jaysin Strife with
the hook from the turnbuckle on the removed bottom rope. Strife is a
bloody mess. These two are trying to destroy each other. I don't know
if either man will be the same after this. Strife is very loudly
calling Dingo a pussy as he repeatedly rams a chair down onto the
fallen champion. Dingo goes for a top rope moonsault while holding a
chair but Strife fights him down off the ropes. Dingo is tied in the
Tree of Woe and Strife is using the chair to inflict extra punishment.

but can't muster much offense on one leg. Elgin has Drake's legs tied
into a pretzel. Drake fights his way free but can't get to his feet.
Elgin back on the leg. Elgin goes for the butt splash onto the leg

to throw him to the floor. Claudio lands on apron outside the ring and
keeps the front facelock. Claudio breaks the hold, Taylor holds the

Feeling out process between the vets. They tumble to the floor. Looks

responds with "wait till next year kid." Ace leaves to "thank you Ace"
chants and high fives all around.

of each other so I won't even try. Sami Callihan with the upset
victory following a hellacious lariat after nearly choking out
Kingston moments before.

Time to set up the cage. Short break and we'll be right back. Loud

9. Drake Younger def. Egotistico Fantastico
Ego doesn't even let Drake get into the ring before doing a HIGH
FLYING plancha dive to the floor while still wearing his Mexican
blanket poncho. Ego immediately rolls Drake in for a pin but only two.
Drake is still hobbled by the work on his leg by 2 Tuff Tony & Michael
Elgin in the tournament so far. Back to the floor and Drake is laying
the leather on Ego with chops. Ego jumps onto Drake but Drake catches
him and launches Ego into the ringpost. Lets Go Ego...Lets Go Drake
from the crowd. Drake drags Ego over by the stage and they are sitting
in chairs doing a bar fight. "Drake" and "Ego" from the crowd on every
punch. Then headbutts and the crowd can't keep up with the headbutts
on their chants it is going so fast and furious. Action finally gets
into the ring. Drake misses a frog splash. Ego knows about Drake's leg
injury and goes after it. Drake is in for an uphill fight with this
bad leg but to his credit he isn't backing down. Lariat by Drake gives
both a chance to catch their breath. Drake goes for a landing but Ego
reverses into an air raid crash. Double springboard moonsault that
he's won twice with this weekend but Drake kicks out! Ego goes for a

was just an eyelash away from making it to the finals of the TPI.

11. Sami Callihan def. 2 Cold Scorpio
Sami still trying to shake the cobwebs from the war with Kingston.
Trying to loosen up his neck and shoulder. Sami is very weary of
Scorpio and still licking his wounds from the Kingston match after a
few tie ups. Scorpio starts laying in the stiffness and drops Sami
with a brutal forearm shiver. Sami is on wobbled legs and Scorpio is
punishing him in the corner. Exchange of lariats which Scorpio
definitely gets the better of. Knee strikes by Scorp and Sami is down

again only two. Scorpio can't believe it and doesn't know what it will
take to keep Sami down. Scorpio with Harvard graduated feet and a
lackadaisical cover but only two and Sami is getting a third wind.

massive Saito plex and another for a pair of twos. He then catches
Scorpio with a killer lariat that double flips Scorpio and gets the
pin. There is just no quit in Sami Callihan. Both men are still down
in the ring but Sami and Scorpio finally make it to their feet and a
show of mutual respect and Scorpio raises Sami's arm in victory.

12. Dingo, Ricochet, and Bobby Fish def. Too Tuff Tony, Prince Ali,
and Ares.
Joey Eastman offers to trade Bobby Fish and a box of minute rice for 2
Tuff Tony in this match. He then offers Tony something in a plastic
baggie and Tony puts it in his pocket and the trade is made. If Dingo
is pinned in this match, he loses the IWA World Heavyweight Title to
whomever pins him. Trying to iron out some internet connection
problems before the pinfalls count anywhere match and the TPI finals.
Tony in now with Ricochet. Tony hits a second rope moonsault for 2. He
hits the Too Tuff Flip while Eastman is holding Ricochet. Joey running
away from Fish whole stole his hat and coat. Crowd chanting Bobby
Eastman. Bobby Fish just stole Joey Eastman's pants! Double DDT by
Ricochet on Tony and Ares. Bobby Eastman in the ring clearing house.
Bobby accidently hit Dingo. Everyone receives nutshots ala 2006. Ali
sent outside. Tony hits the Too Tuff Driver. Too much action. ALI HAS
A SHOE BOMB! Everyone jumps on him before he ignited it. All hell has
broken loose. Ali misses the Weapons of Mass Destruction which allows
Dingo to make the pin. Tony arguing with Ares. Kingston in the ring
with the belt. He hands the belt to Dingo with a show of respect.



Ian announced Vito vs Sal Thomaselli in a Chicago Street Fight next
weekend as well has Dingo vs Drake Younger for the title.

13. Trik Davis def. Chris Hero - Pinfalls Count Anywhere
Randy has left to be security. I'm back several minutes in to the
match. They have brawled all over every square inch of the building.
Hero just nailed a Blockbuster off the stage to the floor onto a pile
of chairs. The TPI trophy was almost killed before the finals. The
chairs in the crowd are thrown about like a tornado went thru the
Hartman Rec Center. Hero with a sitout powerbomb in the ring after
saying "Die Trik Die" but only gets a two. A right left forearm combo
by Hero only gets two. Trik gets gourdbusted across two open chairs.
Hero then slaps on a Boston Crab as Trik is laid across the two
chairs. Two roaring forearms by Hero and a kick to the face by Trik
and both men are down. Trik catches Hero into the Hangman's Clutch!
Hero returns the favor. Trik bites his thumb to break the hold.
Headbutts sound like two trucks colliding. Hero picks up a chair but
Trik dropkicks the chair into Hero's crotch. He then delivers a punt
the family jewels. Trik then hits a perfect driver for the pin.

2008 Ted Petty Invitational Finals

14. Drake Younger def. Claudio Castagnoli & Sami Callihan to win the
2008 TPI

No play by play writeup on this one. We are going to watch this one
with great anticipation.

Sami eliminated with a Drakes Landing. Claudio vs. Drake for the TPI
championship.

Drake wins with the Drake's Landing. Unbelievable finals. The building
is going nuts for Drake and chanting "Psycho Shooter".

IWA Mid-South in conjunction with Smart Mark Video is proud to
announce the plans to put together a tremendous compilation DVD of the
early years of the Ted Petty Invitational tournament. This DVD will
cover the first 3 years of the TPI...2002 - 2004.

The best part about this DVD, even better than the fantastic wrestling
on the DVD, is the fact that we are going to let our fans choose which
matches will be on the compilation.

Here are the rules for voting on the matches:

1. You vote for 5 matches

2. You have to choose at least 1 match from each year. So out of your
5 matches, at least 1 has to be from 2002, 1 from 2003 and 1 from 2004
and then the other two can be from whichever year's tournament you want.

3. You can vote for any match that was on the shows. It doesn't have
to be a match from the tournament itself. So you can pick loser
bracket matches, title matches, etc that were held on the shows.

4. You can ONLY VOTE once a week. You can stuff the ballot box to help
your choices win (a lot of you are from Chicago after all ;-) ) but
you can only do it once a week.

5. The voting will end at midnight on Sunday, November 2nd. The goal
is to have this DVD put together in time for a Christmas release.
Depending on the length of the matches chosen, we hope to have around
12 matches on this DVD.

As an added bonus for this DVD, we will also add some extra to this
DVD. We will have "Flashback Memories" in which SMV will insert
interviews with the participants in the match talking about their
memories of the match.

Here are the lineups for those 3 shows to refresh everyone's memories.

**********************************************
Here is a special message from Ian Rotten about this years TPI:

This Friday and Saturday night, September 26 and 27, it is indeed my
great pleasure to put on the 7th addition of the Ted Petty
Invitational. This tournament over the past 7 years has created some
of the most memorable moments in independent wrestling history, and
this year will be no different.

As we honor a man who gave his heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears,
to this industry, we plan to feature everything he was about. Pure
technical wrestling, hard hitting fights, high flying maneuvers,
incredible brawls; all of which made up the versatility of the man
that was Ted Petty. I feel this year's tournament is the most diverse
TPI in the history of this prestigious tournament. In which I
guarantee an adrenaline rush, heart pumping, emotional roller coaster
ride with something for every wrestling fan.

Everybody knows what a HUGE Cowboys fan I am. In the immortal words of
the great Terrell Owens "Getcha' popcorn ready, because it's gonna be
one hell of a show!"

Oh, and by the way, did I mention that we now have a new popcorn
machine? ;)

See you all next Friday night in Joliet!

With the 2008 version of the Ted Petty Invitational coming up in less
than a week, I thought I would send everyone a flashback to what many
people consider the greatest IWA show ever out of our 515+ shows that
we have run in our history.

The 2004 TPI was loaded from top to bottom in the 24 man tournament
with the absolute biggest names on the independent scene at that time.

You have current day WWE superstars in CM Punk and Evan Bourne. You
have current day TNA stars in Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Alex Shelley,
Chris Sabin and Petey Williams. You have ROH stars Jimmy Jacobs,
Delirious, Nigel McGuiness, Chris Hero, Austin Aires, Claudio
Castagnoli, Roderick Strong and American Dragon.

Over 10 hours of wrestling action on 6 DVD discs.

If the 2008 TPI can just be half as good as the 2004 TPI, it will be a
fantastic weekend of wrestling action in Joliet, IL on September 26th
and 27th.

If you want to look into the 2004 TPI further, you can go to the
following link and see the lineup and even order the DVD. Remember it
is 6 discs with over 10 hours of unbelievable action.

*********************************

Here is the flashback to the 2006 Ted Petty Invitational.

The tournament itself was once again loaded with a stellar lineup that
included the eventual winner "Senshi" Low Ki along with Davey
Richards, Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Colt Cabana, Mike
Quackenbush, El Generico, Delirious, Roderick Strong and much more.

There were also several shocking surprises at the 2006 TPI just like
the surprise appearance of Chris Candido at the 2004 TPI.

It saw the unbelievable return of Jimmy Jacobs to IWA 9 months after
being fired. You could feel the tension in the building when Jimmy
Jacobs and Jim Fannin stood in the ring together for the first time in
9 months since the infamous cage match with the barbed wire baseball
bat shot heard round the world.

The 2006 TPI also featured the long awaited surprise return of The
Necro Butcher to the IWA.

In addition to the TPI tournament, you had Chuck Taylor winning the
IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title in one of the biggest surprises
in IWA history and he then went on to hold the belt for a full year
until finally losing it at the 2007 TPI. There was the Loser Leaves
IWA match between Josh Abercrombie and Tyler Black that led to the
aforementioned return of Jimmy Jacobs.

This tournament had it all and will be remembered for a long time by
those that were there live.

Here is the full lineup for this show and how you can order the DVD:

1. M-Dogg 20 vs. Ricochet

Just a reminder to everyone that we are one week away from the biggest
two nights in independent wrestling with the 2008 TPI.

It's been won in the past by Evan Bourne (Matt Sydal) and AJ Styles
and has been competed in by CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels,
Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin and so many other big names in professional
wrestling.

Who will be the next to lay claim to the title and perhaps take the
steps towards stardom that the previously mentioned have?
